It was entertaining to listen to the post-apocalypse aspects of the book with the pursuit of survival in comparison with the queer representation with Jamison and Andrew as both aren't really found in books, especially together, as there isn't often a whole lot of bisexual representation in media and to have queer representation in a post-apocalyptic book was nice to see and while I do think that some bits of dialogue surrounding either aspect could have been handled better, both the post-apocalypse and queer aspects were my favourite parts of the book. I hope to see them expanded upon in the next book.
I do wish that the communities and other survivors parts of the apocalypse could have been handled better as while I did like the side-plot of Henry taking in Andrew and Jamison as well as their later mission to find her daughter, I found that the other communities and survivors that we came across throughout the book weren't all that interesting and even the ones that we spent a lot of time with weren't always interesting and so I hope that the next book expands on the characters, outside of Andrew and Jamison, that we have already seen as well as introducing new characters that are just as interesting. I'm hoping to start the next book in the series soon as I found that even though I wouldn't rate this book majorly high, I still really liked being able to just have it on in the background and hopefully the next book will be the same.

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.
