Reviews with content warning for Addiction - Here We Go Again

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!

Super cheesy by times, frustratingly slow character development but a wonderful read in the end. I cried for the last 25-30% of the book, a mix of sad and happy.

I don’t know what gave me the audacity to read this. Oh my god, I’m sobbing. This book was so good—this was the kind of book that makes you take a look at your life and go do the spontaneous thing, to live life to the fullest.

This book was amazing, funny, and so very heartbreaking no matter how much you try to prepare for it. This book hurt, but wow was this written so beautifully.

The characters were immaculate and so detailed, so filled with personality and felt so real to read. The adventure and humor of this book was endearing and I loved all the detours they made along the way. I loved how sassy Joe could be, all the while stubbornly living his life to the fullest.

Highly recommend this book, five starts all the way. Now, if you’ll excuse me I have to continue crying my eyes out.

I LOVED Here We Go Again! This was one of my favorites of 2024 (and arguably one of my favorite romances of all time). I have every intention of reading all of Alison Cochrun's other books now.

What I loved (the most, because honestly...all of it):
- The FMCs. I loved Logan and Rosie so much. They were both complex, nuanced characters who had distinct strengths and flaws, and who both grew tremendously over the course of the book. I also loved their friends-to-enemies-to-lovers relationship arc (and the chemistry--whew!)
- The supporting characters. I dare you to read this book and not fall in love with Joe Delgado and his story. But honestly, almost all of the characters we run into throughout the story bring something unique and valuable to the narrative.
- The setting. I'm a big fan of a road trip story, and this one is done so well. Cochrun really captures the feelings of what it's like to be on the road (the excitement, the adventure, the awe, the anxiety, the exhaustion, the boredom).
- The neurodivergence representation
- The mental health representation

While I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good contemporary sapphic romance, I particularly recommend it to teachers. As an English teacher, I felt *seen* by Alison Cochrun.

Thank you so much to NetGalley for my advanced digital copy.

This book hit like a punch to the gut in the best way possible. It was everything a queer former English teacher with ADHD could ever want in a book and I love so much that this exists in the world.
