The Only Light Left Burning | Erik J. Brown
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
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. Settling into life in the Islamorada colony with other survivors of the bug, Andrew believes they've finally found themselves a home, even a 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 and find a new home. But what if "home" means different things to each of them?

All That‘s Left in the World is a truly beautiful book; witty, poignant, exciting. The sequel is seriously underwhelming! Honestly, I'm devastated that I'm not able to write a glowing review. The characters, once so life-like, became two-dimensional. The redemption-arcs were so plentiful that one couldn't help but roll their eyes. Character arcs were wrapped up a little too neatly. There were no laughs. And definitely no edge-of-your-seat drama.

GirlNamedJesse Oh no! I just brought this home from the library. I LOVED the first one, did NOT like his second book, but was hoping this world would be enough to bring me back. 😬 7mo
TheIntrovertedDodoBird @GirlNamedJesse The first book was AMAZING! I've read it twice. I thought the sequel was SO bad that it's honestly ruined the first one for me 😭. I wish he'd left it as a standalone book. There was one scene in the whole story that captivated me, but the rest I mainly skim read. So disappointing. I'll keep a look out for your review. I'm curious what your thoughts will be. I'll probably cross Lose You to Find Me off my TBR pile now 😬. 7mo
