When Andrew stumbles upon Jamie's house, he's injured, starved, and has nothing left to lose. A deadly pathogen has killed off most of the world's population, including everyone both boys have ever loved. And if this new world has taught them anything, it's to be scared of what other desperate people will do . so why does it seem so easy for them to trust each other? 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. "

Along the way, their encounters with different survivors test and strengthen their resolve and their bonds. The narrative, alternating between Andrew's and Jamie's first-person perspectives, is successful at relaying both teens' reasons for making the journey,the story develops organically. Hints to big reveals are subtly scattered throughout, which should successfully hold curious readers' attention: Many will be white knuckled as the twists and turns slowly unfold along with the boys' romance.

Book clubs and discussion groups will have a lot to dig into, especially as the backstory of Andrew and a mysterious family, the Fosters, slowly unfolds. A haunting story that's sure to delight (and terrify). Readers will find this infectious,highly recommended. (Post-apocalyptic adventure. 12-18) COPYRIGHT(2022) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
