Publisher's Summary

A love story with a difference—an unforgettable tale of life, loss and making each day count in the international number one best-selling book of TikTok fame, clocking over 100 million views and counting! The First to Die at the End, the prequel to They Both Die at the End, is now available.

On September 5th, a little after midnight, Death-Cast calls Mateo Torrez and Rufus Emeterio to give them some bad news: they're going to die today. Mateo and Rufus are total strangers, but, for different reasons, they're both looking to make a new friend on their End Day. The good news: there's an app for that. It's called the Last Friend, and through it, Rufus and Mateo are about to meet up for one last great adventure - to live a lifetime in a single day.

Another beautiful, heart-breaking and life-affirming book from the brilliant Adam Silvera, author of More Happy than Not, History Is All You Left Me, What If It's Us, Here's to Us and the Infinity Cycle series.

Unforgettable

I stayed up listening until 3am because I had to know the ending. Also Robbie Daymond is fantastic as the voice of Rufus

Amazing!

Beautiful and terrifying story. So clever and thought provoking. You felt a part of the main character’s every moment through fantastic story telling and narration and the sub characters connection really demonstrated ‘the butterfly effect’. I already want to read it again and then write a thesis on it!!

difficult to understand performance

the actors/narrators for this audiobook was not very good at distinguishing between internal thoughts and dialogue. At times it was impossible to tell if the passage I had just heard was something the character had thought or had actually said aloud. It was especially bad for Mateo

Amazing story

Could not put it down. Got me thinking about how I live my life. What an inspiration to live each day like it was the last.

Outstanding

The narration to this title is outstanding. Each key voice artist truly embodies their character. You feel Matteo's angst and Rufus' regret, as well as their individual personalities, through this audio book. The 8.5 hours will slip away as you immerse yourself in those last moments of our key characters. Well worth it.

Just wow

I've never had a book speak to me so directly. It's a masterpiece, that needs to be read by anyone questioning their place in the world.

It has me asking everyone the question "how would you spend your last day?".

An amazing story

A wonderful modern story with twist and turns. A deep exploration into the human experience that everyone can relate to. Beautifully narrated. A definite must listen.

I don't know...

It was a good story for what it was and I definitely enjoyed it, but definitely didn't live up to the hype either. Tbh I've read better books with a similar concept. Don't get me wrong though, if somebody wanted to read it I would encourage them to do so, although I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend it. Performance was awesome though.
