Alison Cochrun's writing is flawless. This made me cry, but in the most joyous, satisfying, hopeful way. I wouldn't have read it if it was by any other author, but Cochrun hasn't missed yet.

3.0

this is a hard book to review. on a prose level, it is incredible. prose that you would get tattooed on you. but the dialogue and the characterization really brought it down for me. all the celebrity name drops drove me insaneeeee. they were so millennial cringe. I also thought it was so weird how Logan kept saying that rosemary's mouth looked like a cat's asshole and then saying she wanted to kiss it?? also, that Logan was still obsessed with rosemary didn't really make sense to me. Like still having some feelings about her makes sense, but the level of obsession just didn't feel realistic. both of them kind of acted like the middle schoolers they were when they first met. also, it was weird to me that Logan didn't tell her dad when they started taking detours on the trip. even tho she was grown, I would think her dad would care about her location.

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.

This was one of the greatest books I’ve read in a long time. I haven’t felt this much reading a book in forever. Each character is incredible, and the writing is superb. Easily Alison Cochrun’s best work to date.
