But at its heart is Aza Holmes, a young woman navigating daily existence within the ever-tightening spiral of her own thoughts.

In his long-awaited return, John Green shares Aza's story with shattering, unflinching clarity.

Imagina un mundo en el que una organización les avisa a las personas la inminencia de su muerte. Imagina que comenzó la cuenta regresiva. Imagina cómo vivirías tu vida... en solo un día. ¿Estarías listo para decir adiós?

Al final mueren los dos es un canto a la fuerza arrolladora de la vida, que transformará para siempre tu forma de comprender el tiempo, la amistad y el amor. En un presente alternativo, donde es posible predecir la muerte con un plazo de veinticuatro horas, Mateo Torrez y Rufus Emeterio acaban de recibir la llamada más temida: la misma que te avisa de que ha llegado tu hora final.

En circunstancias normales, es poco probable que Mateo y Rufus se hubieran conocido. Pero sus circunstancias no son normales en absoluto. Porque les quedan, a lo sumo, veinticuatro horas de vida. Y han decidido recurrir a Último Amigo, la aplicación de citas que te permite contactar con alguien dispuesto a compartir tu carga. Mateo y Rufus tienen un día, puede que menos, para disfrutar de su recién nacida amistad. Para descubrir cuán frágiles y preciosos son los hilos que nos unen. Para mostrar al mundo su verdadero yo.

Adam Silvera reminds us that there’s no life without death and no love without loss in this devastating yet uplifting story about two people whose lives change over the course of one unforgettable day.

On September 5, a little after midnight, Death-Cast calls Mateo Torrez and Rufus Emeterio to give them some bad news: They’re going to die today.

Mateo and Rufus are total strangers, but, for different reasons, they’re both looking to make a new friend on their End Day. The good news: There’s an app for that. It’s called the Last Friend, and through it, Rufus and Mateo are about to meet up for one last great adventure—to live a lifetime in a single day.

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... there was a princess who became a legend. Sixteen-year-old Princess Leia Organa faces the most challenging task of her life so far: proving herself in the areas of body, mind, and heart to be formally named heir to the throne of Alderaan. She's taking rigorous survival courses, practicing politics, and spearheading relief missions to worlds under Imperial control.

But Leia has worries beyond her claim to the crown. Her parents, Breha and Bail, aren't acting like themselves lately; they are distant and preoccupied, seemingly more concerned with throwing dinner parties for their allies in the Senate than they are with their own daughter. Determined to uncover her parents' secrets, Leia starts down an increasingly dangerous path that puts her right under the watchful eye of the Empire.

And when Leia discovers what her parents and their allies are planning behind closed doors, she finds herself facing what seems like an impossible choice; dedicate herself to the people of Alderaan—including the man she loves—or the galaxy at large, which is in desperate need of a rebel hero.

Two boys – a slow learner stuck in the body of a teenage giant and a tiny Einstein in leg braces – forge a unique friendship when they pair up to create one formidable human force. A wonderful story of triumph over imperfection, shame, and loss.

A chance encounter in the dark leads eighteen-year-old Daniel and the girl who stumbles across him to profess their love for each other. But this love has conditions: they agree it will last only one hour, and it will be only make-believe.

When their hour is up and the girl rushes off like Cinderella, Daniel tries to convince himself that what happened between them seemed perfect only because they were pretending it was. Moments like that happen only in fairy tales.

One year and one bad relationship later, his disbelief in love-at-first-sight is stripped away the day he meets Six: a girl with a strange name and an even stranger personality. Unfortunately for Daniel, finding true love doesn’t guarantee a happily ever after . . . it only further threatens it. Will an unbearable secret from the past jeopardize Daniel and Six’s only chance at saving each other?
