AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, I expected to cry (maybe not sob so loudly I scared my cat, but here we are). I expected to be emotionally punched in the face. I *did not* expect to be called out by yet another rom com, but apparently that's what we're doing these days, so cool.

The way this book has consumed my mind for the 24 hours since I finished it, however, was the most unexpected thing about it. I read half the book sitting at a park during the solar eclipse, and then read more before bed, and then finished it when I woke up and I cannot stop thinking about it. Lately the rom coms I've been picking up (and absolutely devouring) haven't been simple love stories, but deep and complex in ways I didn't expect. I don't consider myself to be judgmental (deragatory) about genres (I'm very much one to encourage people NOT to be), but clearly I've been making assumptions if I'm being constantly surprised like this. 

Maybe how I read this kind of book has changed, or maybe norms in the genre are changing, but assuming rom coms are going to be light and fluffy probably won't be my default anymore. I'm okay with having to be more conscious of that moving forward if it means getting more like this though. I don't know if I'll ever fully recover from this one - and honestly? I'm okay with that.

Thank you to NetGalley and Atria for providing an ARC in exchange for my honest thoughts (even if I did end up buying the book without having read the ARC)

What to expect: sapphic, road trip, English teachers, childhood friends to enemies to lovers, death of a mentor, you'll cry

nothing like not reading the summary and crying at work reading a book that just hits you in all the feels, am I right?

but really, this one is so well done and I love it!

Long time rivals Logan and Rosemary are forced to spend a summer together when their dying mentor ask them both to take him on a final road trip across the country. Along the way they find out that maybe they've misunderstood each other and themselves for too long.

This book was wonderful and heartbreaking. I absolutely loved Joe, Rosemary, and Logan and their trip across the country.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I loved the author's previous books. This one was a bit trigger-y for me (cancer) so it was hard for me to keep going. Fans of this author will love this one if the trigger warnings aren't an issue.
