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.
