#235 – They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera (with Kristen and Mariah of Literary Liberation)

Tune in as Kristen and Mariah (Literary Liberation) collaborate with the podcast to focus on They Both Die at the End, the 2017 YA speculative fiction novel by Adam Silvera that covers two teenage boys taking an existential journey through a world where a company called Death-Cast can call you up and alert you to the daunting fact that you’ll die in less than twenty-four hours—a fact that those two boys have to wrestle with on the final day of their mortal lives. Questioning how much free will really exists in the landscape of Death-Cast, examining the capitalism of this tale from a socialist stance, and a seeming Harry Potter nod being one of the book’s dated moments make up a few of the talking points for this episode.

TW: death, grief, violence, gun violence, murder, animal death, child death, parental death (in the past), terminal illness, fire, drowning (in the past), car accident, suicide (in the past), suicidal ideation, homophobia, mental illness, and panic attacks
