It was a good book. I liked 'The Charm offensive' a tad bit more though. This book does give a good reflection on how it is to say goodbye to someone, the exhausting process of dying. I need to applaud it for that. Honestly Logan and Rosemary were a little bit annoying at times, but I guess that means they were realistically written, because there is no human on this earth who is never annoying. I cried. It was beautiful.

lesbian love story? romantic comedy? summer road trip? yes yes and yes. this book is sweet and sad, funny and heartbreaking. a story about love and loss, family trauma, mental health struggles, and of course, existing as queer in spaces where it sometimes isn’t normalized or accepted. I laughed while reading this book. I definitely cried so many tears while reading this book. I felt seen while reading this book. If you’re looking for an LGBTQ+ love story perfect for the summertime, this is it!

this is a hard book to review. on a prose level, it is incredible. prose that you would get tattooed on you. but the dialogue and the characterization really brought it down for me. all the celebrity name drops drove me insaneeeee. they were so millennial cringe. I also thought it was so weird how Logan kept saying that rosemary's mouth looked like a cat's asshole and then saying she wanted to kiss it?? also, that Logan was still obsessed with rosemary didn't really make sense to me. Like still having some feelings about her makes sense, but the level of obsession just didn't feel realistic. both of them kind of acted like the middle schoolers they were when they first met. also, it was weird to me that Logan didn't tell her dad when they started taking detours on the trip. even tho she was grown, I would think her dad would care about her location.

Listen, this book was brilliant and wonderful and heartrendingly beautiful, but also I absolutely never want to read it again ever in my life, thanks so much for understanding <3

Ok, but for real though, I loved the Odyssey of it all, and I fell in love with all three of the main characters, especially Logan and Rosemary. Their POVs and voices were always different enough that it was easy to tell who was narrating any given part. I will say, though, POV switches in the middle of chapters remain one of my most hated things, and I also have to take points off for the whole bit where the characters use famous queer people's names as expletives; it was fun at first, but the joke got old really fast. Overall though, I thoroughly enjoyed most of this book. The romance was so well-done, and it felt very earned by the end, and this is very much one of those books where even though you know how it ends, the journey was absolutely worth it. (And I LOVED how they found little pockets of queer community and belonging in places they didn't expect!!)

But that ending though...I won't spoil it, but if you read the summary then yeah you can guess what's gonna happen, and oh boy I was not expecting it to hit me as hard as it did. I was not in as good of a headspace for this as I thought I was going in, so I'll fully admit I skimmed most of the last few chapters, but it was still such a good story that I can't even knock off points for that. This truly is a rom-com about death, and even though I can't imagine I'll ever pick this book up again of my own free will, I did love the journey it took me on.
