Description

The author of the sexy, insightful, and utterly charming (BuzzFeed) Kiss Her Once for Me returns with a new queer rom-com following once childhood best friends forced together to drive their former teacher across the country.

A long time ago, Logan Maletis and Rosemary Hale used to be friends. They spent their childhood summers running through the woods, rebelling against their conservative small town, and dreaming of escaping. But then an incident the summer before high school turned them into bitter rivals. After graduation, they went ten years without speaking.

Now in their thirties, Logan and Rosemary find they arent quite living the lives of adventure they imagined for themselves. Still in their small town and working as teachers at their alma mater, theyre both stuck in old patterns. Uptight Rosemary chooses security and stability over all else, working constantly, and her most stable relationship is with her label maker. Chaotic and impulsive Logan has a long list of misguided ex-lovers and an apathetic shrug she uses to protect herself from anything real. And as hard as they try to avoid each otherand their complicated pastthey keep crashing into each other. Including with their cars.

But when their beloved former English teacher and lifelong mentor tells them he has only a few months to live, theyre forced together once and for all to fulfill his last wish: a cross-country road trip. Stuffed into the gayest van west of the Mississippi, the three embark on a life-changing summer tripfrom Washington state to the Grand Canyon, from the Gulf Coast to coastal Mainethat will chart a new future and perhaps lead them back to one another.

Funny and wise, sexy and smart and tender, this story has it all. A dazzling romance about letting go, second chances, and embracing the unexpected."

"Alison Cochrun's ability to hit me with a sentence that makes me laugh out loud, then a sentence that gets me hot, then a sentence that gives me chills is truly unparalleled. Reading an Alison Cochrun book is a full-body experience. There was so much inHere We Go Againabout showing up for other people and showing up for yourself, and I was here for all of it."
