“They Both Die at the End” by Adam Silvera

‘LGBTQ Latnx Students Share 12 Must-reads’ glsen.org

Recommended by Soli: This is a story about friendship and love on your last day on earth. Mateo Torrez and Rufus Emeterio use the Last Friend app to look for new friends to spend their last day with. This novel was the first love story I read about Latino gay boys, and it’s so important to have because the Latinx community can, at times, shun and ignore LGBTQ folks. This book restores my faith in love as a queer Latinx and as a hopeless romantic.
