Summary-

The First to Die at the End by Adam Silvera is a gripping young adult dystopian romance novel that explores fate, first love, and the emotional impact of knowing when you’ll die. This prequel, set in the same world as Silvera's They Both Die at the End bestseller, brings readers face-to-face with Orion and Valentino on the Death-Cast launch day, a service that informs individuals of their dying day. Orion has suffered with a congenital heart condition and signs up for Death-Cast to end his life peacefully, and Valentino, a young aspiring model embarking on a new life in New York, signs up on impulse. When one of them gets the feared call, their lives unexpectedly intersect, forming an electrifying bond that will alter the trajectory of their last day. With time running out, the two boys have to face fear, love, and what it is to be alive. Their friendship grows rapidly, striking a chord on the imperative of time and the sweetness of living in the moment. Silvera intertwines emotion, tension, and heartbreak to create a story that reads both close and far. The First to Die at the End is ideal for LGBTQ+ romance enthusiasts, fans of speculative fiction, and emotional coming-of-age stories that push the boundaries of the way we conceptualize life and death.
