Why read it?

2 authors picked All That's Left in the World as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book is an excellent example of a queer book with a genre plot where the character's sexuality, while important to the plot, never dominates the story. I loved the focus on the developing friendship between the two main characters while one in particular worked through his awakening feelings for the other. It's also filled with enough action and genre plot elements to provide an exciting read.

Let’s get this out of the way: Funny? Yes. Tragic? Yes.

This post-apocalyptic (not dystopian) novel about two boys who find each other after a virus has ravaged the world reminded me of what was most important in life.

It was an exciting, propulsive read that I absolutely devoured in a day or two. It not only met my expectations for the genre but exceeded them.
