Tbh, I'm not that much of a fan of dystopian/apocalyptic novels since I love to escape into fantastic worlds and not into possible worst case scenarios for the future. 
  However, All That's Left in The World didn't feel like this at all :) 
  I loved the characters, the suspense and the overall vibe of the novel feeling mostly hopeful and not only lonely, sad and anxious. 
Also, Andrew and Jamie are so cute together :>

Me and my friend have both had this book on our shelves for ages and now we read it together! 
It was a bit slow in the beginning and I didn’t get that far in it before putting it down. So I wasn’t super interested in the beginning. 
But, as I was reading I got so hooked, I read like 2/3 of the book in like 36 hours (including sleeping and working). I was stuck, but there were some parts that I didn’t enjoy that much or feel weird about.

Them finding the Fosters and Jamie thinking about how he is in love, them kissing when they’ve been captured by propel who don’t like queer people and also the end meh

But overall it was a nice read, I was not ready for the more intense and “scary” parts of it!
