This adventure fiction book by Adam Silvera was definitely one of the best books I have ever
read. It all begins when two total strangers get a call from Death Cast saying they are going to
die in the next 24 hours. Both download an app that finds them a best friend to live out the last

After a tragic accident, two very close sisters have to learn how to maintain their
