About this listen

 Jamie and Andrew are strangers, and two of the last people left alive. They don't know what they'll find on their perilous journey ... but they may just find each other. A queer romance about courage, hope and humanity - this is How I Live Now with the heart of Simon Vs The Homo Sapiens Agenda.

When the Superflu wipes out most of the population, Jamie finds himself completely alone in a cabin in the woods - until an injured stranger crosses his path.

Life is dangerous now and, armed with a gun, Jamie goes to pull the trigger. But there's something about Andrew ... something that stops Jamie in his tracks. Jamie takes him in, and as Andrew heals and they eventually step out into the strange new world, their relationship starts to feel like more than just friendship ...

But trouble isn't far behind. As the boys make a perilous journey south, they'll come face to face with a world torn apart and society in ruins. And who, or what, will they find waiting for them at the end of it all?

I loved how the author brought this story to life! The post apocalyptic setting and the characters surviving a changed and unforgiving world was captivating. Also loved the LGBT representation and found this story overall a fantastic read/listen and I would highly recommend it.

Great story!

I really enjoyed it. I liked the story line. I loved the way the relationships between The Two Romeos played out. It was tastefully done. After finishing the book, I found myself missing the personalities of Jamey and Andrew. Which I don't recall happening with many books.

A good Apocolypse read.

When post-apocalyptic fiction became current affairs, life must have got harder for authors. Despite being written pre-covid and published after, this story manages still to be escapist and not to ring false. The world needs sympathetic LGBTQ characters and here are two it’s a pleasure to have met. Treading a careful line between real world threats and optimism, it’s (metaphorically) a page-turner that manages to stay humorous and uplifting, and charmingly performed.

Coming of age, post-apocalypse

I couldn't have gotten enough of this book!! usually I pace myself with these audio books but this one I binged, I couldn't get enough and I couldn't stop thinking about what will happen next. I'm so happy I stumbled upon this and I wish there was a sequel!

Such a beautiful story
