5⭐️ all day long for this! This queer road trip rom-com is every beautiful thing you'd expect from Alison Cochrun. It touches on life, death, friendship, healing from family dynamics too many of us are familiar with...and getting out of your own way to be happy. It made me feel all the things from laughing out loud to holding back tears. I loved it and am already looking forward to a re-read.

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.

I laughed, I cried. Multiple times. I felt seen via Rosemary's character. 5/5 would recommend and read again.
