They Both Die at the End

Matteo and Rufus spend their last day on earth together, and encourage each other to get past their fears. They also fall in love. If they'd had a lifetime, perhaps they wouldn't have stayed together, but in that day and moment all they could do was celebrate their time together, and believe in who they could have been together. They deserved to revel in being young and in love, and connected to someone else so deeply. This made me think about the stuff I put off ... and I'm not a youngin' any more. Matteo failed to live his life out of fear he would die, and learned too late that you die no matter what, and so you need to live while you can. I liked the other POVs – some of the people were connected to Matteo and Rufus in ways they would never realize, and the way the author revealed those connections was moving. Did I sob? No. I saw the title, and believed it, so I was prepared. But I was moved, and I did cry a little, and I think I'll take the message to heart.
