All That's Left in the World

Well-written YA queer dystopian fiction and a strong debut. Plot was fairly predictable but still impactful. Hits a lot of dark notes but not without humor, mostly from the wisecracking MC. Romance is a very slow burn, with one MC self-identifying as straight for most of the story. Besides, they are trying to stay alive in a dangerous situation, so there's not a lot of time for pining for each other. YMMV if the premise of 98% of the population being wiped out by a lethal pandemic hits too close to home.
