Sam & Ilsa's Last Hurrah by Rachel Cohn, David Levithan

5.0

Out of all the books Rachel Cohn and David Levithan have written together, this is the deepest one. Full of great writing, talking about how to figure out where to go after high school, how to Navigate adulthood, being able to have fun and be garish for a few hours, and entertain a sock puppet for an evening. It was full of fun moments but full of life-affirming moments too. The ending was probably the sweetest thing. The whole novel was a strange one but very enjoyable at the same time!!! And I enjoy the nods to their other books(nick and Norah/Dash and Lily) with that song from Nicks band the fuckoffs. this book is for anyone who has been “stuck inside a fortress of their own building” and needs help to get out. It’s one of the best that Cohn and Levithan have written together!!!
