๐ SYNOPSIS
When Andrew stumbles upon Jamieโs house, heโs injured, starved, and has nothing left to lose. A deadly pathogen has killed off most of the worldโs population, including everyone both boys have ever loved. And if this new world has taught them anything, itโs to be scared of what other desperate people will do . . . so why does it seem so easy for them to trust each other?
After danger breaches their shelter, they flee south in search of civilization. But something isnโt adding up about Andrewโs story, and it could cost them everything. And Jamie has a secret, too. Heโs starting to feel something more than friendship for Andrew, adding another layer of fear and confusion to an already tumultuous journey.
The road ahead of them is long, and to survive, theyโll have to shed their secrets, face the consequences of their actions, and find the courage to fight for the future they desire, together. Only one thing feels certain: all thatโs left in their world is the undeniable pull they have toward each other.

TL;DR: All Thatโs Left in the World is an emotional queer post-apocalyptic story about two boys trying to survive in the world following a world-ending pandemic. It wonโt be for everyone as itโs hard to read about a pandemic after having lived through one IRL. However, despite the loss, deaths, and horrors that await our protagonists, there is so much hope and love within these pages. I grew to love Andrew and Jamie and I canโt wait to see where their story goes next!
