As a death-positive, sober lesbian with ADHD who loves label makers, a good 3-ring binder, & road trips, and would love to write a book one day, I think this book was written specifically for me... I mean, it even contains the specific nickname I use for my favorite 7-year-old! 🐓
Personal connections aside, this book is incredible. Alison Cochrun knows how to create well fleshed out, multi-dimensional characters who feel REAL and don’t just live in the little bubble of the story you’re reading, and I love that. I also really appreciated the ADHD representation, and showing how the same disorder can affect people so differently. I definitely identify more with Rosemary’s ADHD brain (a kind that people often don’t read as ADHD), but I have my Logan moments 😅
Can we talk about the skill it takes to weave a story about dying and grief into a romantic comedy and make it work? There is so much heart and care woven into this story. Joe’s life and death is as central as the relationship between Rosemary and Logan, and each plot point makes the other better. All this to say, Alison Cochrun is for sure going on my auto-buy author list and you should definitely read this book.

Wow this book is so moving and emotional in the best way! Alison did an excellent job weaving in the grief, humor, and love throughout the story with what truly is the perfect balanced ratio. You will find yourself laughing and crying within the same chapter. While I liked Logan and Rosemary and how they evolved throughout the story as individuals while coming back together, the real star of the show is their relationship with Joe. Joe! What is there to say? That man was such a beautiful soul who deeply loved Logan and Rosemary. He Tuesdays at Morrie’ed the shit out of them overtly and discretely, making it his mission for his girls to be okay and to have each other when he was gone. I loved that they had this fun cross country adventure as the backdrop, it was a nice juxtaposition of light spontaneity in the face of impending loss and grief. I could not put it down because it was so enthralling (mild regrets now because it’s over). This book is a must read!

"Love is finding someone who helps you rewrite the story of yourself."
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.

Alison Cochran has managed to craft what I believe is one of the best road trip stories I have ever read! I loved the pacing, the characters, the scene building, the HUMOR!! There is so much I can say about this book.
Let's start with the happy stuff. Besides the fact that the book is hilarious, I loved how Cochrun uses the story to show travel through the southern states of America through a queer lens. Readers can expect to find themselves surprised by the love in the queer communities in different states during the journey.
Another happy-ish thing I liked was the characters. They were all so well-rounded and felt so REAL where I felt connected in a way. Like in Cochrun’s previous book, KISS HER ONCE FOR ME, HERE WE GO AGAIN has really great anxiety and ADHD representation. I also loved having a main character on the ace spectrum.
Now for the sad part.The main premise of the story and reason for the road trip is to get a man dying of cancer to his desired dying location across the country. The experience of witnessing someone deteriorate and eventually die from cancer is a major occurrence throughout the book, so keep this in mind while reading and take care of yourself.
I'm obsessed with this book! I knew it was one of my most anticipated releases of the year and it definitely lived up to the hype!!

Thank you to S&S and Netgallery for the free arc copy. All opinions are my own.
This book fucking ruined me. Absolutely madness. I cried a lil while I was reading it at work on my fucking lunch break.
A rom-com about death? Sign me the FUCK up! This was beautifully written and the ache and pain I felt not only from Rosemary and Logan but also the side characters, Joe, Remy, and more.
I will always recommend Cochruns books. They're brilliant. So well made.

A wonderful summer rom-com!! I loved the characters and the story, this is a perfect story of healthy growth and love. At first i was describing it as a gay tuesdays with morrie, until the amazing character joe said "this aint some tuesdays with morrie bullshit"😂 but it still turned out to be a great road trip story of a teacher helping his students grow while saying goodbye
I reccomend for anyone looking for a heartfelt sapphic summer romantic comedy
