They Both Die at the End

(3) YA Mateo and Rufus are strangers until each is notified that he has one day to live. Thanks to the Last Friend app, the two young men spend their final hours getting to know each other. The affection--and attraction--between them develop quickly but convincingly, given the intense circumstances. Their alternating first-person narratives, interspersed with friends' perspectives, create a bittersweet portrait of love amid impending loss.
