The story, road trip, and Joe get 6/5 stars. Logan, her celebrities, and number of times she calls herself “fuckboy” gets 2 stars and it comes out around 4. ;)

Whelp, didn’t know this was going to make me cry so much. But I also laughed.

It feels rude and dismissive to consider this simply a “romcom” - it was so much more than that. It left a lump in my throat, tears in my eyes, a longing to meet Joe in real life, and the intense need to tell everyone how I feel about them right at this exact moment (despite finishing the book at 4:30am on a Wednesday).
This was one of the best novels I’ve read in a long time. It does “enemies to lovers” better than most, and the fact that the characters truly understood each other was a relief. The plot wasn’t just a mess of miscommunication for once, it was two characters fighting their beliefs about themselves to accept that they are worth being loved.
My one complaint is the constant use of queer artists as expletives. It didn’t feel natural - it was a little forced and awkward at times. “Elton fucking John,” “Kristen fucking Stewart,” “Tig fucking Notaro,” “Laura fucking Dern”… I was rolling my eyes at all of these. We get it, the characters know queer culture. But it felt so out of place, especially when Rosemary started doing it too.
But truly, that’s my only complaint.

I sobbed through at least half of this book, which is not my vibe in a romcom. Alice Cochran made me love it anyway. This is fantastic from start to finish. Funny, messy, sad, gorgeous. I’m in love with Logan and Rosemary and every single character we meet in this story.
