A deadly pathogen has killed off most of the world's population, including everyone both boys have ever loved.

After danger breaches their shelter, they flee south in search of civilization. But something isn't adding up about Andrew's story, and it could cost them everything. And Jamie has a secret, too. He's starting to feel something more than friendship for Andrew, adding another layer of fear and confusion to an already tumultuous journey.
The road ahead of them is long, and to survive, they'll have to shed their secrets, face the consequences of their actions, and find the courage to fight for the future they desire, together. Only one thing feels certain: all that's left in their world is the undeniable pull they have toward each other.
While there are some serious elements to this book, I found it quite enjoyable. As another review on here pointed out how much the book talks about smiling (negatively), the book actually did make me smile quite a few times.
It is a story about two teenagers just trying to survive in a post-pandemic world while also finding out who they really are.
I would recommend it if you are in to MM romances.
