They Both Die at the End

This literary work starts off super engaging, drawing you right in with a wild sense of suspense. Silvera’s storytelling is on point, and the opening hits you right in the feels, making you shed a tear or two. This literary experience is not all common where the protagonist’s situation emotionally hits the reader that they finds themselves empathizing with the character's struggles. The story is filled with sad moments of grief for the living that make the characters do things they would have never done in their lives.

Even though it’s a common trope in movies and books to "live everyday like it's your last day", this story does something different. It shows the characters living their last day doing what they were to scared to do in their life prior to knowing today was going to be their last day.

This literary gem has rightfully earned its place among my all-time favorites, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to others.
