I found the two main characters to be a bit unlikable at first but they really grew on me and the other characters and the overall plot more than made up for it. I loved the character development and the relationships between the characters and I even found myself tearing up at some points which almost never happens to me with media. I will say that the first-name fucking last-name as a curse got old fast but overall this was a really enjoyable, emotional, moving story.

Look, I know "road-trip romance about death" doesn't really sound like a great time, but this book is better than that (accurate!) tagline would imply (modulo content warnings, of course; take care of yourself). My favorite Cochrun so far.

While at its core, this is a book about death, it's also about life and living it to the fullest. I appreciated the way that ADHD and anxiety were discussed in this book, and neither character was reduced to just that. There's also a lot of talk about grief, about growing up, and about taking risks. An emotional ride, but definitely worth it.
