Mateo, a Puerto Rican teen, feels completely alone in life. The guilt for his mother's death looms as a constant shadow in every aspect of his life. And things have only gotten worse recently—his father is in a coma. Today was surely the cherry on top when he received the call he had been terrified of all his short life; Death-Cast had called, and he would die today.
Rufus, a Cuban American, is an orphan in a group home. A new reality he had been working to accept over the recent months. In his new home, Rufus created a friendship circle that became family to him—the Plutos. The Plutos always had his back, including tonight when he rearranged another kid's face for dissing him. Rufus had his fist pulled back when the all-knowing ringer rumbled from his pocket. Ironically, the notification of his pending death from Death-Cast is what saved the other kid's life.
“You may be born into a family, but you walk into friendships. Some you’ll discover you should put behind you. Others are worth every risk.”
Two teens, lost between boys and men, search for someone who understands their feelings of looming death. They create profiles on the Last Friend app and take a chance on friendship. The teens vow to be better versions of themselves and finally live in the little time they have left.
“My Last Message would be to find your people. And to treat each day like a lifetime.”
Together, Rufus and Mateo battle grief, but in the dwindling hours, they find acceptance, friendship, and love.
I am not going to lie. I was really rooting for these two and hoping the title wasn’t, in fact, the end.
It was odd that only parts of society were advanced. For example, society could predict death and simulate experiences, but everything else in the world was pretty much the same. It just seems like all levels of technology would have advanced to be more science fiction. But maybe the writer didn’t do this because he thought it would shift the area of focus away from the young teens.
I was proud of the changes in both characters; there was a lot of character development in less than 24 hours. It wasn’t until I got closer to the end that I recognized the foreshadowing of their deaths. If you are searching for an action-packed book, this isn’t for you. If you want the nostalgic deep feels of young teenage angst and the helplessness of our mortal demise, this is for you.
These characters don’t necessarily ‘live’ their last moments in life going on a quest for an achievement but on a journey inside themselves. They live through self-acceptance, internal growth, love, and shared moments. It's funny how we think we need all the material things, but when it comes down to our last moments, what we really ache for is the stuff we can’t buy; moments with friends and family, happiness, and above all else—love.
