Publisher's summary

In this prequel to the NO. 1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING phenomenon of TIKTOK fame, They Both Die at the End, two new strangers spend a life-changing day together after Death-Cast make their first fateful calls.

Meet Orion and Valentino.

It’s the night before Death-Cast goes live, and there’s one question on everyone’s mind: Can Death-Cast actually predict death, or is it an elaborate hoax? Orion Pagan has waited years for someone to tell him that he’s going to die, given his serious heart condition. Valentino Prince has a long and promising future ahead of him and only registered for Death-Cast after his twin sister nearly died in a car accident.

Orion and Valentino cross paths in Times Square and immediately feel a deep connection. But when the first End Day calls go out, their lives are changed for ever – one of them receives a call . . . the other doesn’t.

Told with acclaimed author Adam Silvera’s signature bittersweet touch, this story celebrates the lasting impact that people have on each other and proves that life is always worth living to the fullest.

Absolutely adored this and SOBBED

And also the audio version is rlly amazing I loved all the voices they felt like how it would be in my head

Not more of the same

So I was slightly sceptical of this book because, obviously, I loved the first one and I was afraid this might just be one of those cases where the sequel presents just more of the same, written because the first one became so popular. However, I really enjoyed this. It was honest and heartfelt, just like the first one was. It offers new insight and delves deeper into the thematic, bringing up a few new topics, and it manages to tell the story in a different way with a different emphasis. So I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who liked the first one. And of course, as you probably know already, prepare for heartbreak. In the best possible way.
