There's a lot of big feelings in this one so as the Author's note mentions, this is one go gently with (so so many tissues); but it also had me laughing out loud with the characters and so much that resonated. A lot of heart.

I have yet to read an Alison Cochrun book that is not literally one of my favorite books of all time. They’re so well written, well thought out, have insane chemistry and this one was so well done and made me cry for at least half an hour lol

The characters and story are so beautiful and the character growth is insaneeee

This was really cute. Great banter and character development. I had to speed through it on audio though because the grief and loss was too much for my mental health, otherwise this may have been a 5 star

Picked this up for a beach read, not expecting it to be as intense and sad as it was at times, but that’s on me. The death/dying part of the plot was in the synopsis. That said, this was cute, heartwarming, heavy,  funny, and emotional. It’s a lot in one book. I enjoyed the portrayals of ADHD.

I liked the few pop culture mentions, but the famous person expletive thing was a bit odd and way overused. 
Enjoyed it and would recommended overall.

I love the ADHD rep. I love the Sapphic and Ace rep. I love the queer joy. I even love the heartbreak and loss. It's been a minute since a book made me cry so much. There were moments when I was frustrated that Logan and Rosemary weren't talking it out like adults, but they figured it out. I like how their relationship accepts both of their idosycracies. I'd love to see them as a cameo or background characters in another book. Just to see them be happy together again.

It’s more a literary book than a romantic comedy. Joe was my favorite character and I loved his journey more than rhe main characters - esp with Remy
