Today’s review is about WE BURNED SO BRIGHT by T.J. Klune. It’s a standalone novella in which a black hole is about to destroy Earth. The end of the world is the impetus Rodney and Don need to travel cross country to finally do something they put off for years. There are quite a few content warnings for this one, so check them out. That said, I loved this book, as much as one can when it’s about the end of the world.
