Adam Silvera, 2017
On the day Death-Cast calls to say they'll die, two teenagers meet through an app for last friends and decide to make their final hours count.

In Silvera's world, Death-Cast is a company that calls people on the day they'll die; those called are 'Deckers,' and a Last Friend app pairs them so no one dies alone.
Feels like morality, dread and love.
The story two people choose to tell when the ending is fixed.
“We’re not dying because of love. We were going to die today, no matter what. You didn’t just keep me alive, you made me live.” He climbs into my lap, bringing us closer. He hugs me so hard his heart is beating against my chest. I bet he feels mine. “Two dudes met. They fell in love. They lived. That’s our story.” “That’s a better story. Ending still needs some work.” “Forget about the ending,” Mateo says in my ear. He pushes his chest away from mine so he can look me in the eye. “I doubt the world is in the mood for a miracle, so we know not to expect a happily-ever-after. I only care about the endings we lived through today. Like how I stopped being someone afraid of the world and the people in it.” Books by Adam Silvera
