Ebook with thanks to NetGalley and Tor/Pan Macmillan.
5/5 stars
A slightly belated review since I read this in January but also shockingly ahead of schedule for me considering this isn't released until April.
At 176 pages this is a novella rather than a novel but though short it packs a lot of impact.
The world is ending in a few days. A massive black hole is sucking everything up, most of the planets have been destroyed and once it comes for the moon humanity is done for.
Don and Rodney are an old married couple driving from Maine to Washington State to do something important (and heartbreaking once revealed) before it's too late. On the way they meet a variety of people: crazy bad, crazy good, dangerous crazy and queer kin.
This is a simple book but it has so much emotional depth and characterisation and it is beautiful.
