4/5 stars I loved it!

Thank you to the publisher for this ARC!

Here We Go Again is a book of ups and downs, big big feelings and most of all, trying to love and live life to the fullest despite it all.

As an avid fan of Cochrun’s previous work and was very excited for this book qnd was not disappointed in the storyline. Both Logan and Rosemary being adults feeling the pressures of a life that feels like it’s already finished was an incredibly relatable feeling and watching them heal their hearts and their love for each other was beautiful. That, coupled with the death trip with their former teacher showed how found family means so much to people, especially queer people. The book handled the topic of death very well but I did feel the ending was a but rushed. I would have also liked more romantic and intimate scenes but that’s just my own preference

This was a very (and i say this with love in my heart) millennial book 😅 the way they kept saying female (mostly queer) artists/ celebrities instead of „oh my god“ and the regular pop culture references were a little cringe sometimes and idk how well that will eventually age. I thought the romance was way too predictable and the conflict so unnecessary. They could’ve saved themselves so much heartache if logan had just gotten over her abandonment mommy issues a little earlier like girl its been 20 years and you‘re in your 30s 😩 anyway she did at least get her shit together in the end. 

So the romance was meh to me the only thing that saved it was the fact that it was sapphic lol if this had been a straight romance i would’ve cared even less 🫠 but the journey of grief was beautiful and emotional and made me finish the book.

I laughed, I cried. Overall very heartwarming and an excellent commentary on young gay experiences and anticipatory grief.

something i love that this book did well was the moments surrounding joe's death / dying. it showed a level of realism that i appreciated; the humor that people are able to find in life's toughest moments and how people lean on each other in their grief. the plotline surrounding him was the highlight for me, the romance was eh. absolutely hated the 'firstname fucking lastname' bit.
