About this listen
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)

Great story!
I loved how the author brought this story to life! The post apocalyptic setting and the characters surviving a changed and unforgiving world was captivating. Also loved the LGBT representation and found this story overall a fantastic read/listen and I would highly recommend it.

Good - But, Not Special!
Overall the book was enjoyable and the performance was excellent; the end was something of an anticlimax and a little predictable - unless the author intends revisiting this work.
The real issue isn't specifically with this book, it applies to almost every book in this category; the two chief protagonists, in this case Andrew and Jamie, are alway very similar in outlook and world-view; they think broadly the same on anything important and have the same attitude(s), almost without nuance, on very major topic. The difference, in personality, are superficial at best. There are differences but they are invariably domestic/family background, economic status or physical.
It would be a deal more interesting if authors could produce characters who believe different things rather than these 'cookie-cutter' creations. Obviously books in this genre will, naturally, have characters who like/love one another; but, is it really so difficult to imagine a world wherein people can love each other despite fundament differences in views.

This is just…incredible. I haven’t been able to stop listening. It makes me so happy to see queer representation in a story so good.

Really loved this book
Very gripping story with lots of twists, loved every moment but would have loved it more if the romance progressed a bit faster.

Simple story but really enjoyable
This is the first time I've listened to a book with Lgbt characters. I'm gay but I had no idea just how cool and relatable it would be to listen to a great story featuring 2 guys falling in love. OK so the backdrop is that 88ish % of humanity and birds are dead but its a page turner. I could not stop listening and hope that this is just the first time n the series.
Loved the story and the narration is excellent too.

Beautiful story about hope.
I'm very happy to have read this book. I laughed and cried and fell in love with the characters.
There's a lack of queer representation in most fiction, especially Post Apocalyptic fiction and this book really steps up to fill the void.
Jamie and Andrew are both relatable and tragic and I adored watching their relationship blossom. Every moment of tension, humour and romance was done beautifully thanks to the great writing and amazing performances from the narrators.
I really loved this book and really recommend it to anyone in need of a great story that tugs on the heartstrings.

A good Apocolypse read.
I really enjoyed it. I liked the story line. I loved the way the relationships between The Two Romeos played out. It was tastefully done. After finishing the book, I found myself missing the personalities of Jamey and Andrew. Which I don't recall happening with many books.

My FAVOURITE book!
This book has been my favourite since it came out. When I saw it on audible I was skeptical about the voice acting but both actors did an amazing job at portraying the characters. I’ve re-listened to this book about the same amount I’ve re-read it. Couldn’t recommend this book enough!!!
