I really liked this story. Although there were a few things that I wasn’t too fond of. Starting with something that I got over very quickly at the beginning. I’m not much of a fan of historical anything — this leaning more toward a historical fantasy. However, I quickly got out of that mentality since this story doesn’t lean too heavily on the historical part. The second thing I had issues with was about the way Wilhelm was being kept captive and a prisoner, and all the things that were being done to him made me feel so uneasy. It was uncomfortable having to read/listen to how Teddy speaks to him. Not that it was badly written or anything, but the mental manipulation being done to Wilhelm was uncomfortable and kind of depressing for me. Overall I think this is a solid read and deserving of its 3.5 stars. I did feel like some parts could have been a bit shorter, however that’s a personal preference.

Brown really knows how to write a sequel to All That’s Left in the World! The story of Andrew and Jamie continues in this post-apocalyptic adventure that brought me to tears. Though they go through their ups and downs, this book really showcases the love they have for each other. Their story really comes full circle at the end of this book leaving you wanting to know more about their lives and the other characters’ lives as well. I loved it so much and would definitely recommend this book to young adult readers.
This series is such a great story, and I can see it becoming a TV show with at least 2 seasons. Such a beautiful post-apocalyptic LGBTQ+ story that should be told in different mediums.

This literary work starts off super engaging, drawing you right in with a wild sense of suspense. Silvera’s storytelling is on point, and the opening hits you right in the feels, making you shed a tear or two. This literary experience is not all common where the protagonist’s situation emotionally hits the reader that they finds themselves empathizing with the character's struggles. The story is filled with sad moments of grief for the living that make the characters do things they would have never done in their lives.
Even though it’s a common trope in movies and books to "live everyday like it's your last day", this story does something different. It shows the characters living their last day doing what they were to scared to do in their life prior to knowing today was going to be their last day.
This literary gem has rightfully earned its place among my all-time favorites, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to others.
