Reception

ALA Booklist writes that Nobody But Us is "raw, immediate, and utterly unflinching. Halbrook's debut features complex characters, and attempting to puzzle them out makes for a thought-provoking read." Publishers Weekly calls it "a dark, romantic wild ride reminiscent of Thelma and Louise."

In August 2013, it was announced that the novel has been optioned by Haven Entertainment for development as a feature film, under the title Will and Zoe. Short film director Leanne Welham has signed on to adapt the novel and direct the film, and Jesse Hara, Kevin Mann, and Pouya Shahbazian of New Leaf Literary will serve as executive producers.
