The book mainly features brief, time-stamped chapters narrated first-person by Mateo and Rufus, but also includes short third-person chapters from side characters that they encounter along the way. Determined to seize their final hours, Mateo and Rufus set off across the city together, during which their growing friendship deepens into something more. The two meet through Last Friend, a social media app designed to connect lonely Deckers on their End Day. He wants a chance to really live after a lifetime of being shy and playing it safe. He’s on the run after a violent act lands the police on his tail and his friends in jail. Rufus and Mateo don’t know how or exactly when they’ll die, only that they will in twenty-four hours. On September 5, a little past midnight, the dreaded call comes for two teenagers in New York City: Cuban American foster kid Rufus and Puerto Rican Mateo. In an alternate reality from Adam Silvera’s They Both Die at the End, the company Death-Cast calls Deckers (people who will die within the next day) to notify them of their approaching fates. “I regret to inform you that sometime in the next twenty-four hours you’ll be meeting an untimely death.” “They Both Die at the End” is a novel published in 2017 by New York Times bestselling author Adam Silvera.
