As a death-positive, sober lesbian with ADHD who loves label makers, a good 3-ring binder, & road trips, and would love to write a book one day, I think this book was written specifically for me... I mean, it even contains the specific nickname I use for my favorite 7-year-old! 🐓

Personal connections aside, this book is incredible. Alison Cochrun knows how to create well fleshed out, multi-dimensional characters who feel REAL and don’t just live in the little bubble of the story you’re reading, and I love that. I also really appreciated the ADHD representation, and showing how the same disorder can affect people so differently. I definitely identify more with Rosemary’s ADHD brain (a kind that people often don’t read as ADHD), but I have my Logan moments 😅

Can we talk about the skill it takes to weave a story about dying and grief into a romantic comedy and make it work? There is so much heart and care woven into this story. Joe’s life and death is as central as the relationship between Rosemary and Logan, and each plot point makes the other better. All this to say, Alison Cochrun is for sure going on my auto-buy author list and you should definitely read this book.
