Much like how John Green's The Fault in Our Stars hit me hard because I read it with my mom while she was battling brain cancer, this one is a doozy. But at the same time, it's just such a good book. It almost made me cry twice, and finally succeeded at the end, even knowing what was coming.

The premise of They Both Die at the End is simple, and exactly what it says on the tin. People find out that they're going to die the day of, around midnight through the service of a scifi-flavored company by the name of Death-Cast. There is no last-minute, last-ditch miracle. But the focus is entirely on their journey, on how much living they can pack into their last day. And they do that in spades, even finding love despite their loneliness and insecurities. The ending is still a gut punch, and this book is worth reading. I fully recommend it.
