Summary

Jamie and Andrew are strangers, and two of the last people left alive. They don't know what they'll find on their perilous journey ... but they may just find each other. A queer romance about courage, hope and humanity—this is How I Live Now with the heart of Simon Vs The Homo Sapiens Agenda.

When the Superflu wipes out most of the population, Jamie finds himself completely alone in a cabin in the woods—until an injured stranger crosses his path.

Life is dangerous now and, armed with a gun, Jamie goes to pull the trigger. But there's something about Andrew ... something that stops Jamie in his tracks. Jamie takes him in, and as Andrew heals and they eventually step out into the strange new world, their relationship starts to feel like more than just friendship ...

But trouble isn't far behind. As the boys make a perilous journey south, they'll come face to face with a world torn apart and society in ruins. And who, or what, will they find waiting for them at the end of it all?

Critic reviews

"Tense, exciting, sometimes heartbreaking and always romantic, All That's Left in the World explores what it means to hold onto hope and humanity when the worst case scenario becomes reality. With characters you'll adore, and a fast-paced, mysterious plot that keeps you turning the pages as fast as you can devour them, this book is not to be missed." (Sophie Gonzales, author of Only Mostly Devastated)

"Brown has somehow achieved a book that is romantic, hilarious, warm-hearted, hopeful and page-turningly thrilling all at once. I was hooked from beginning to end." (Dahlia Adler, author of Cool for the Summer)

"A timeless love story that could not be more appropriate for this moment, All That's Left in the World is a thrilling, heartfelt and beautifully written debut." (Tom Ryan, author of I Hope You're Listening)

A story of survival and love

Blended two of my favourite themes together to create a beautiful story about love, survival, nostalgia, grief…. I really enjoyed this and would recommend

wowza

theres not many MLM books out there, and most of the ones that exist are written by small inexperienced writers so its really difficult to find a well written one. But this one is definitely in my top 3. I felt scared, sad and got butterflies all throughout. The only thing id say is that i think this is the kind of book that would have benefited from a sad ending. Happy endings are great but sometimes a sad one will give the book so much more emotion.
I cant wait for the next book!!

Possibly the best book I have ever read/listened too.

Everything about this story fascinated me. The writing, the characters, the world-building, all of it.

I have a lot of struggles in my life, and reading/listening to this managed to articulate perfectly what it can feel like for me, (albeit not as deadly lmao), and the ending message of "hope" genuinely brought me to tears. I love this book, and I am beyond excited to hear that there will be a sequel.

I usually tend not to post reviews as I prefer anonymity, but I genuinely couldn't move onto my next read without openly stating and acknowledging how amazing this book truly is and how much reading this meant to me. Thank you for writing this, I don't believe I'll ever forget this book.

Fantastic book!

I really loved the book. There were so many twists and turns. Although I guessed a few of them, this didn't take away from the pleasure of the book. It was interesting to see how the MCs responded to the twists. The narrators were also very good.

3 1/2 stars.

I’m not blown away but it was a fun enough read to keep me entertained. The performances definitely helped carry it. All in all if you want a cutesy romance in a different (sometimes bleak) and interesting setting then give this a shot!

Adored everything about it

Great escapism, hard to put down and easy to love characters. I was invested from the beginning and devastated when it was over.
