Synopsis

A trans teen is swept up in a whirlwind friendship with lethal consequences in this taut YA thriller, for fans of Sadie, Andrew Joseph White, and HBO's Euphoria.BEFORE. Newly out trans guy Max is having a hard time in school. Things have been tough since his summer romance, Danny, turned into his bully. This year, his plan is to keep his head down and graduate. All that changes when new It Girl, Gloss, moves to town. No one understands why perfect, polished Gloss is so interested in an introverted skater kid, but Max blooms in the hothouse of her attention. Caught between romance and obsession, he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her on his side.AFTER. Haircuts, makeovers, drugs, parties. It’s all fun and games until someone gets killed at a rager gone terribly wrong. Max refuses to believe that Gloss did it. But if not Gloss, who? Desperate to figure out truth in the wake of tragedy, Max veers dangerously close to being implicated—and his own memories of that awful night are fuzzy.Both sharp-edged thriller and moving coming of age, this gorgeously wrought novel is perfect for readers who want stories with trans characters front and center.

Goodreads review by Nev on November 26, 2023

While it’s not inaccurate to describe this as a YA thriller with a trans protagonist, I personally felt like the coming of age, friendship, and relationship stories within the book were much stronger than the thriller part of the plot. Max is newly out as trans and school isn’t the best for him at t......more

Goodreads review by Howard on August 17, 2024

3 Stars for No One Left But You (audiobook) by Tash McAdam read by Loz Chandler. This is much more about the trans experience in high school than it was the promised thriller, murder mystery. I think it’s a decent read for the characters and situation but not so much the mystery.......more

Goodreads review by Julie Kristine on June 18, 2023

Thank you NetGalley and Soho Press for the advance reader copy in exchange for an honest review! I loved everything about the book. The dual timeline, before and after That Night, the mystery that kept me guessing, finding things out in drips that kept contributing towards the whole picture, and of......more
