Another sweet FF romcom by Alison Cochrun: a delicious, neurospicy friends-to-enemies-to-lovers second chance romance on a friend’s death road trip across the United State.

I need to start this off by saying Alison Cochrun is by far not my favorite author. I DNF'ed kiss her once for me so I was a little worried about this one when it was sent out to me. But wow was I shocked. I love the second chance romance and friends to lover's trope. But this is done in a way I've never seen it done before, especially because they hate each other. Their only thing in common is their dying teach who starts off the trip by telling them this is not a learning experience it's just them getting to Maine. But it becomes a learning experience for all involved.

This book was absolutely beautiful. I literally felt every emotion as the characters were feeling them. I laughed, I cried, I gasped. This is about found families, neurodivergent kids, and finding your way in those teen years when you feel the most lost. This is why we need openly queer teachers and why it kills me some states want to shut it down. This book is about learning we don't have control of anything in life so at the end of the day it's worth to lose the control.

Very rarely has a book touched me this much so believe me when I say go read this book.

I was gifted this book by Net Galley and Atria in exchange for an honest review as always, all words are my own.

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.
