Adam Silvera or the narrator of romantic plots with evocations of that first, most authentic romanticism as a literary and even existential current. That romanticism where drama is existence itself and love is the only element capable of filling everything with some meaning. But also that way of seeing the world between clearings and storms, where surely more is gained when everything tends to darken and the only thing left to do is apply resilience and life in the last instance.
Fundamental attunements with youthful readers but also furious outbursts that call for that awakening of the heart beyond inertia and centripetal forces that nullify. Feeling as a narrative foundation and as a setting. Love and heartbreak as elements that compete to occupy the soul among stormy circumstantial and emotional variations. An author who leaves his readers breathless pink gender-juvenile that takes on another dimension.
Top 3 Recommended Adam Silvera Novels
In the end they both die
Pointing to a possible ending, before starting to tell a story, points to creative self-sufficiency, capacity and confidence that what has to be told is more interesting in its development than in its ending. Like life itself, what counts is the present…
A story about life, friendship and love. Can a single day hold a lifetime? In an alternative present, in which it is possible to predict death within twenty-four hours, Mateo Torrez and Rufus Emeterio have just received the most feared call: the same one that warns you that your final hour has come. Under normal circumstances, it is unlikely that Mateo and Rufus would have met.
But his circumstances are not normal at all. Because they have, at most, twenty-four hours to live. And they've decided to turn to Último Amigo, the dating app that lets you connect with someone willing to share your load. Mateo and Rufus have one day, maybe less, to enjoy their newborn friendship.
To discover how fragile and precious are the threads that bind us together. To show the world your true self. The new novel by Adam Silvera, a New York Times bestseller that has been an overwhelming success by critics and readers. An emotional, original and extreme book that addresses the proximity of death to masterfully capture the overwhelming force of life, friendship and love.
In the end the first one dies
Maybe that's about it. Under the peremptory perception of our passage through this world, that same period, that same time of intervention that the script of existence offers us, takes on the magnitude of wonder between laughter and tears.
Orion Pagan has been waiting years for someone to tell him that he is going to die. Now that he has registered with Sudden Death to find out if his serious cardiovascular disease will kill him, he is ready to start living. That is the reason why he decides to go to a unique and unrepeatable event: the eve of Sudden Death in Times Square.
Receiving his Last Day call is something that Valentino Prince had never imagined, since he did not even register in the application. Her career as a model is about to take off and she is going to spend her first night in New York at the Sudden Death launch party.
Orion and Valentino meet and their connection is undeniable. But fate is always unexpected. And when Sudden Death makes its first round of calls, one of the two is the one about to die. And, as you know, the life of the one left alive will probably never be the same again. Because after losing someone, we are never the same again.
Remember that time
Approaching a youth novel when you are not so young anymore is an act of empathy with yourself, with who you were. Hence this review, an interest in the way of seeing the world that approaches you when you have not yet reached the adult who awaits you.
At book Remember that timeHowever, I have not found a juvenile reading to use. And in a way it comforts me while it awakens certain qualms (I must be a grumpy old man by now).
However, what to say about the plot ..., the truth is that it is very good The approach is pure science fiction, but it also has a meeting point of the adolescent with himself, reflected in the role of Aaron Soto, the protagonist. We cannot ignore that within youth there is also turbulence and anxiety as well as energy and vitality.
This book disguises itself as science fiction to propose existential paradigms about the sensations of the young person who awakens to maturity. Happiness, the ideal of belonging, friendship, the past and the future... But the author never loses his way. At all times he knows who he is addressing and uses the language of young people (language in the sense of the way of seeing life, between fast-paced and crazy). That blessed madness.
And in the end he did it, the book transported me to the age of youthful limbo, where the sensations are more intense. Adam Silvera does not mince words or clichés when speaking to us about youth and to youth. He knows that fantasy still dazzles these children with bodies in transition and presents them with an intense story with the most complex aspects and most marked contradictions of young people.
And why shouldn't young people read something that they are undoubtedly living inside, at whatever level? A yes for youth literature without indoctrination, whatever the subject. Without a doubt, reading this book can make any teenager see himself reflected. And feeling that literature can also have its heart can only serve for a general openness.
