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.

Listen, this book was brilliant and wonderful and heartrendingly beautiful, but also I absolutely never want to read it again ever in my life, thanks so much for understanding <3

Ok, but for real though, I loved the Odyssey of it all, and I fell in love with all three of the main characters, especially Logan and Rosemary. Their POVs and voices were always different enough that it was easy to tell who was narrating any given part. I will say, though, POV switches in the middle of chapters remain one of my most hated things, and I also have to take points off for the whole bit where the characters use famous queer people's names as expletives; it was fun at first, but the joke got old really fast. Overall though, I thoroughly enjoyed most of this book. The romance was so well-done, and it felt very earned by the end, and this is very much one of those books where even though you know how it ends, the journey was absolutely worth it. (And I LOVED how they found little pockets of queer community and belonging in places they didn't expect!!)

But that ending though...I won't spoil it, but if you read the summary then yeah you can guess what's gonna happen, and oh boy I was not expecting it to hit me as hard as it did. I was not in as good of a headspace for this as I thought I was going in, so I'll fully admit I skimmed most of the last few chapters, but it was still such a good story that I can't even knock off points for that. This truly is a rom-com about death, and even though I can't imagine I'll ever pick this book up again of my own free will, I did love the journey it took me on.
