It’s not your typical easy going romance. The teacher these two women love who really saw them is dying and they have to take him on his dying wish of a roadtrip and for them to go from enemies to lovers. It’s a hard read to have a love story and a death story put together but it’s well done. I think I would have preferred something fluffier based on the cover but I heard the theme of live your life to the fullest. Message received. Letting people love you and letting go of control. Always important to remember.

The cursing with queer icon names was almost too much for me lmao, but I'm happy I stuck with this book. 

I love when a writer is able to capture the joy and safety in queer spaces like drag shows. Its such a good and important feeling. 

The final act of this book was sad, but I liked it. 

I think the pacing was good even though I was afraid things would get tiring with the personality clashes. I liked the representation of neurodivergency too, it didn't feel like a Tumblr excerpt about ADHD.

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.

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.

The description says it’s a rom com about death, but what it doesn’t say is that it’s the perfect book to read during a road trip.

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
