As you may already know if you follow my posts, I've currently been reading a selection of YA books for a regional Battle of the Books contest that pits teens from area libraries against each other in a trivia challenge. I've read three of the books and have two left. This one was the third and has been my favorite so far. It's basically realistic fiction, with one overarching twist that drives the plot.
(Quill Tree, 2017)
If you get a call from Death-Cast just after midnight, you are assured of one thing...you are going to die at some time during the next day. That is the premise that sets this wonderful narrative that is more about life than it is about death.
Mateo and Rufus are two teenage boys living in NYC. When they get the calls from Death-Cast, they are strangers. Through a series of events, they end up spending the remainder of their lives together, discovering who they truly are and becoming who they've always wished to be.
