This book was the most captivating piece of literature I've read in the past couple of months. It's an emotional rollercoaster that made me wanna cry as well as scream out load.

To be completely honest this did put me in a minor reading slump but that was more to deal with the fact that it reminded me a lot of this book I read in August and I kept comparing the two and thinking one was the other. That being said I liked this one more than that one. And had I not gotten in that minor slump this definitely would of been a 5 star read for me.

I can’t wait for the sequel that releases in March and I highly recommend this book. This is one of if not my favourite apocalypse book I’ve read. And the fact that it’s queer makes it even better.

I hope the afterlife has a little movie theatre where you can sit in silence and watch the sequence of events that led to the watershed moments of your life.

All That's Left in the World is a book packed full of hardships and pleasures, comedy and challenges, heaven and hell, but with a continuous and long lasting promise for hope.

In post-pandemic USA where a dangerous superflu has wiped out most of humanity, Andrew and Jamie feel like lost humans in a small world that has decayed and died; a pair setting out on a journey in search for an unknown light at the end of the tunnel, meeting new faces but always facing the problems that are thrown at them together. This novel throws you into the mash of difficulties and challenges of a world that has gone to shit, and yet you can't stop reading and hoping for a new and better tomorrow beyond the horizon, just like the two lovable main characters.

I picked up this novel randomly in a bookstore without expecting much out of it, but I cannot stress how exciting (and sometimes depressing) it was to read through this rollercoaster of a story, adventuring through an apocalyptic world with the main characters. It was an unforgettable blast and I can't express in words just how much I loved this book. It hits you in the feels when it decides to be sad, it gives you endearing and pining moments that are to die for, it keeps you on your toes when tension rises. Really, it had everything, and I was constantly struggling to put it down as I wanted nothing more than to continue reading and see where the book ends.

Both the characters and the plot itself were wonderful, and every second was a flurry of emotions as the characters hope for a happy ending to their horrible situation. A lovely read that left me teary by the end.

THIS WAS EVERYTHING!!!!!! i am slowly realizing i'm a fan of postapocalyptic fiction with a romance subplot, and this one delivered. i was so invested that i finished the audiobook in less than 24 hours. there were constantly scenes that had me on the edge of my seat and my heart racing because it felt like i was watching it on the screen. i would 1000% support this being adapted for tv!!!
