Published Jan. 8, 2019 by Turtleback Books.
In a near-future New York City where a service alerts people on the day they will die, teenagers Mateo Torrez and Rufus Emeterio meet using the Last Friend app and are faced with the challenge of living a lifetime on their End Day.
This was recommended to me a while back, and I grabbed it not expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised at how moved I was by it. A lot of feels at the end.

Wow. That was a journey and a half; the first 50 or so pages didn’t quite grab me and I was worried I would hate it but soon after, when Mateo and Rufus met, everything really started to pick up and the book got significantly better. Not mad on the ending but this was such a sweet story so I can probably forgive that.
