All That's Left in the World
By Erik J. Brown
4/5⭐️
This is a post-apocalyptic novel set in the aftermath of a deadly pandemic which killed around 80% of the world's population. Jamie and Andrew, two teenage boys, meet after the death of everyone they knew, and try to find a way forward.
Andrew, an openly gay boy who has lost his entire family, is travelling through the woods when he gets caught in a bear trap. He stumbles to a house in the middle of nowhere, finding Jamie. A witty character, Andrew was constantly making jokes and pop culture references. He and Jamie find comfort in Andrew retelling the plot of films (as technology no longer works).
Jamie was living in his cabin with his mother when she died, leaving him with a notebook full of medical advice and a lot of supplies. He discovers his bisexuality throughout the book, as a group force him out of his house into travelling with Andrew to an airport, a journey in which their love for each other blooms.
Others they meet include the formidable elderly lady Henri, the authoritative group of Fort Caroline, and the shy Cara who helps them.
I enjoyed this book a lot, but would enjoy if more information was found about the state of any country that is not the USA. The protagonists were quite lovable, and I recommend it if you are fond of this genre.
Queer rep:
Bi protagonist
Gay protagonist
TWs: pandemic, death, gun violence, injury, murder, homophobia, violence, racism, vomit, sexism
