A review by rainbowbrarian
The Darkness Outside Us by Eliot Schrefer

4.0

 This book was the January pick for the Reading Rainbow Queer Book Club that I run at my library.  It’s a story set on a space ship on a long distance mission to one of the moons of Jupiter, Titan.  Ambrose and Kodiak are members of the only two countries left on earth and must work together to keep the ship running as they race towards Titan to rescue Ambrose’s sister, Minerva.

It’s hard to talk about this one without BIG spoilers, but I am going to try.  This was really good.  I could never have imagined the turns this story was going to take.  I loved the romance between Ambrose and Kodiak and the way they changed as the story went on.  

Favorite Parts - The line about how love is two boys huddling together at the bottom of a water tank.  That really hit me.  

Read This If You - love a forced proximity, last two people alive, rivals to lovers story with epic stakes and a slow burn.
