❤️🔥 Childhood Friends to Enemies to Lovers
🧲 Opposites Attract
✏️ Keeping up with your Favorite Teacher
🚙 Last Minute Bucket List Road Trips
Logan and Rosemary, former childhood friends turned bitter enemies, find themselves stuck in their small-town lives as teachers. Both women are grappling with their identities and past relationships, with Logan embracing her chaotic nature and Rosemary clinging to stability. When their dying mentor's final request leads them on a cross-country road trip in a fabulously gay van, they're forced to confront their shared history, navigate their complex feelings, and maybe, just maybe, find love and self-acceptance along the way.
This hilariously heartbreaking novel makes one wonder: should the reader be laughing or sobbing at Logan, Rosemary, and Joe’s adventure? The answer is most definitely both; that old man wouldn’t want it any other way.
Yes, there is a steamy moment in this enemies-to-lovers romance, but the plot kept me there for all 368 pages. Cochrun’s detailed and well thought-out writing style spoils every other romance novel. It is so realistic and raw in a way that one would think they’re watching a film. She’s not afraid to be poignant with her prose describing the American landscape while still sneaking in a pun-filled jab during an argument.
It can be difficult to convince someone to pick up a novel where they know the most ultimate ending will eventually occur, but Cochrun has discovered the secret formula. “Here We Go Again” doesn’t break your heart with a story of death; it fills your soul with a journey through grief, second chances, and soulmates.
