This is a book club episode. In it, Travis and Amanda will discuss and analyze the first half of THEY BOTH DIE AT THE END by Adam Silvera. You should expect full “spoilers,” discussions of rhetorical elements, and celebrations / critiques of style and substance.
From the cover: “On September 5, a little after midnight, Death-Cast calls Mateo Torrez and Rufus Emeterio to deliver some bad news: They’re going to die in less than twenty-four hours. Mateo and Rufus are total strangers, but, for different reasons, they’re both looking to make a new friend on their End Day. The good news is that there’s an app for that. It’s called Last Friend, and through it, Rufus and Mateo meet up for one final epic adventure - to live a lifetime in a single day.”
