After forty years together, husbands Don and Rodney are out of time. A rogue black hole is coming for Earth, and in a month, everything and everyone they've ever known will be gone. Suddenly, they're in a race against the clock to make it from Maine to Washington State and take care of some unfinished business before the end of the world. On the road, they meet those who refuse to believe death is coming and those who rush to meet it.
But there are also people living their final days as best they know how - impromptu weddings, shared meals, new friends. And, as the black hole draws near, among ball lightning and under a cracked moon in a kaleidoscope sky, Don and Rodney will look back on their lives and ask if their best was good enough. Is it enough to burn bright if nothing comes from the ashes ? A heartfelt, queer road-trip novel from TJ Klune, the Sunday Times bestselling author of the Cerulean Chronicles and The Bones Beneath My Skin.
