I cried like 3 times. The biggest 5 stars ever

I saw myself a lot in Logan and Rosemary. Their personalities, their ADHD traits (which can and do differ for a lot of ADHDers), how they saw themselves/their traits. I loved how Logan was brash and how she put this air of not caring about what others thought of her – when really, she did. And then Rosemary with her over-preparedness, making sure every little thing is absolutely perfect. Like, wow, Cochrun, how dare you see into my heart like that. But also thank you very much and I love you a lot.

If I begin to think too much about Joe I might start crying and not be able to finish the review. He was my favourite, and such a fun character. He could quite easily have you laughing a ton the one sentence and in the next sentence have you near crying. I felt for him and his story because it is such a difficult time of your life – when you're nearing the end. You might think you didn't do everything, get to know the right people. Have regrets, things you'll miss doing. However, Joe didn't think of those throughout the book. He focused on what was good in his life, what he enjoyed doing, what mattered for him.

Most of the plot is them travelling and sight-seeing (which was very cute and funny) but it's also a lot about Rosemary and Logan trying to come to grips with Joe's death. He's a big part of their lives and not having him physically there anymore – it's a big adjustment for them. And myself too because I was hoping throughout the entirety of me reading the book that he would stay alive.

This wasn't exactly a natural childhood-friends-to-lovers, which is why I liked it all the better. Give me a romance that takes a while to get there, one that's not straightforward, one that takes a while to get to. But most importantly, show me a love that is real. Logan and Rosemary absolutely had that. Even when they were fighting I was thinking “I can't wait to get to when you admit you like/love each other” and still I didn't want to skip a single page because I wanted to see all the steps and stages they had to take.
