About the Book
What If It’s Us meets They Both Die at the End in this sequel to the beloved postapocalyptic queer YA adventure romance All That’s Left in the World by USA Today bestselling author Erik J. Brown.
Perfect for fans of Adam Silvera, Alex London, and Heartstopper by Alice Oseman.
After a long and treacherous journey south, Andrew and Jamie have finally found safety in the Florida Keys. But they soon learn that safety doesn’t always mean happily ever after in the high-stakes world of post-apocalyptic Florida.
Settling into life in the Islamorada colony with other survivors of the bug, Andrew believes they’ve finally found themselves a home, even a found family. But anxious Jamie is less comfortable in their new community and is eager to return north to keep the promise they made to their friend Henri—to bring her to the colony and reunite her with her daughter. Besides, would it really be so bad to find someplace just for the two of them?
When a hurricane and a shocking betrayal force them to leave the colony in search of new shelter, it brings their tensions to a head—and puts them in the path of some old enemies. Andrew and Jamie must set aside their differences to survive once more in this thrilling gay romance and find a new home. But what if “home” means different things to each of them?
- Road Trip Adventure: A devastating hurricane and a stunning betrayal send Andrew and Jamie fleeing their Florida Keys sanctuary, forcing them back into the dangers of a collapsed world.
- Forced Proximity: Trapped on the road and facing old enemies, their conflicting ideas of home—a community for Andrew, a cabin for just the two of them for Jamie—are brought to a boiling point.
- Second Chance Romance: Safety was supposed to bring them closer, but it only pushed them apart. Now, with everything on the line, Andrew and Jamie must fight for their future, but can they agree on what that future looks like?
- Survival Story: Perfect for fans of Adam Silvera and They Both Die at the End, this emotional story is about what happens after you survive, and whether love is enough to build a new world.

PRAISE FOR ALL THAT’S LEFT IN THE WORLD: “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.

PRAISE FOR ALL THAT’S LEFT IN THE WORLD: “Survival is core to the queer experience, and in All That’s Left In the World, Brown takes that to apocalyptic extremes with the story of Andrew and Jamie.

PRAISE FOR ALL THAT’S LEFT IN THE WORLD: “It’s difficult to say Andrew and Jamie are lucky, as each lost everyone they knew, but love like this—a small ember carefully tended until it erupts into a sustaining flame—is rare even when there are millions of people around you.” — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
PRAISE FOR ALL THAT’S LEFT IN THE WORLD: “In allowing the protagonists moments of laughter and warmth amid so much loss, he gets to the terrifying heart of societal collapse: the loneliness and guilt of outliving friends and family—and the resulting hope in connection.” — Publishers Weekly
