This isn’t a book about the end of the world. It’s a book about who you’d spend the end of the world with.
For Pride Month, I wanted to highlight one of the most moving books I’ve read this year: We Burned So Bright.
The story follows an elderly gay couple as Earth drifts toward a black hole, but what makes this book so special isn’t the apocalypse, but the relationship at its centre. Watching two people reflect on a lifetime of love, loss, and shared memories was both heartbreaking and beautiful.
What stayed with me most was the reminder that even in the face of unimaginable change, our connections to each other are what matter most.
If you’re looking for a Pride Month read that will make you laugh, cry, and hold your favourite people a little closer, I can’t recommend this one enough.
