All We Have Left

Cozy, hopeful, and uplifting: this heartwarming post-apocalyptic romance is perfect for fans of Fable for the End of the World and Emily Henry.

Thirty years after the end of the world, young Kayla Hollins enters into a marriage of convenience with a man she barely knows in order to secure life-saving medical care for her beloved younger sister. The world may not have ended all at once – but ended it has.

Kayla is a survivor. In the torn-up wastelands of the Canadian Pacific Northwest, she has outlived a colony, a cult, a paramilitary group, and most of her family. When her sister April falls gravely ill, Kayla sets out for Salt Spring Island, where a working hospital is rumored to still exist. But this supposed utopia comes at a price: not everyone is allowed to enter or to receive treatment – and Kayla's past is not spotless.

Desperate, she strikes a deal with Sid Charles, a rising politician on the island: if Kayla and Sid marry, Sid's election prospects rise and April automatically gains access to the medical care she needs. In two years, when Kayla can earn citizenship herself, they could divorce. Simple, right?

The more time Kayla spends with Sid and his ragtag group of rescued boys, the more she begins to admire and like him. But with April's treatment and Sid's election at stake, Kayla isn't sure if she dares change their agreement.

Together, trapped in what may be the last paradise, Kayla and Sid know exactly what it means when the world ends. While they try to rebuild with the people of Salt Spring, there may still be time – if not to save the world – then at least to save themselves.
