In this precursor to the widely acclaimed novel They Both Die at the End, two strangers find their lives intertwined during a transformative day after receiving their ominous calls from Death-Cast. A #1 New York Times bestseller!
As the eve of Death-Cast's revelation approaches, a lingering question hangs in the air: Can Death-Cast genuinely foretell one's impending demise, or is it an elaborate ruse?
Orion Pagan, grappling with a severe heart condition, has yearned for years to receive the fateful news of his imminent death, having signed up with Death-Cast in anticipation.
Valentino Prince, embarking on a fresh start in New York, has a promising future ahead, and his registration with Death-Cast was prompted by his twin sister's near-death experience in a car accident.
Fate brings Orion and Valentino together in Times Square, sparking an immediate and profound connection. However, when the initial round of End Day calls is made, their destinies take divergent paths—one receives the call, while the other does not. Uncertain of how the day will unfold, both boys are determined to spend it together, even if it means facing a heart-wrenching goodbye.
Adam Silvera, renowned for his bittersweet narrative style, skillfully tells this tale that underscores the enduring impact people have on each other, affirming that life, despite its uncertainties, is always worth embracing to the fullest.
