Rufus and Mateo know they’re doomed, but Rishi’s characters have reason to question the reality of their situation and while most of them act in accordance with the end of the world, others behave as though everything will go back to normal after a false alarm is called. There’s also more doubt in Rishi’s novel. For Cate, Jesse, and Adeem the whole world is ending, and they will be only a few of the billion simultaneous casualties. The lives of their friends and families will go on without them. What does it mean to live? How do your priorities shift when you find out that your time is limited? The novels depart in the details, of course. Both novels tackle the ideas of regret and living. Like Mateo and Rufus, Cate and Adeem meet each other in their last little bit of time and form a deep, transfigurative connection. Like They Both Die at the End, I Hope You Get This Message follows a group of teens as they come to terms with the fact that their lives will soon end. I Hope You get This Messageby Farah Naz Rishiįrom a thematic and plot standpoint, this is arguably one of the most similar books you’ll find.
