Here We Go Again is one of those books.
It's one of those books that makes you find something to appreciate on every page. It makes you swoon, makes you think.
Makes you read until 3 a.m., when you really should put the book down because you need to get some damn sleep, but instead you've got all the feels, and tears streaming with a smile on your face.
It's the prickly pear of novels - beautiful and painful in tandem.
I've loved Alison Cochrun's previous two novels (The Charm Offensive and Kiss Her Once For Me) and Here We Go Again tops them all.
The characters of Logan, Rosemary and Joe are so vivid. So loveable and so flawed, I fell entirely into their Gay Mobile "death trip" journey. (And one other character, who I can't name before you read it, is now in my top favourite characters ever.)
There is too much to gush over here, quite honestly. In summary, I loved this book and highly recommend.
Released on April 2.

I have loved all of Alison Cochrun's books thus far. I feel the same about "Here We Go Again." What an incredibly life-affirming piece of work this novel is. Cochrun is the queen of mixing drama with sadness, intense romance with pop culture references, and laugh-out-loud humor with serious introspection, and this book is no different. I will just say this now: if you have ever lost someone in your life, you will identify with this book in more than one way. The trauma of loss never leaves you, and reading "Here We Go Again" will likely stir up all kinds of emotions within you. It will test your limits as the bereaved. The ways I cried, the noises I made listening to this book... I am shocked the neighbors didn't call the cops to find out what was wrong because your girl. was. SOBBING. Like, heaving sobs, ugly tears, an 'eyes puffy for days' type of sadness. That being said, this book is more than its infinite sadness. Cochrun's writing is captivatingly beautiful, an ode to life and love and loss and truth and found family and second chances. It will warm your heart, only to turn around and break it multiple times over. At its core, this is a sapphic friends-to-enemies-to-lovers road trip story full of witty and snarky humor, self-discovery, and steeeeamy spice, though the grief often overshadows all of this. You *need* this book in your life, not only for its therapeutic value, but for its commentary on living and loving and having no regrets. An absolutely stunning novel!
Thank you to NetGalley, Alison Cochrun, and Atria Books for the complimentary ARC of this book. All opinions are my own. I was not compensated for this review.
