once again, alison cochrun reaches into my brain and puts thoughts and feelings i have had on paper. logan frustrated the hell out of me sometimes, because i understood exactly why she was doing what she did and i saw myself in her. SO annoying, haha. this book is a love letter to loves had and lost, to how you thought your life might be and how it actually was, and how all of those things are beautiful and wonderful and able to be changed no matter your age. the grief was real and hard and i absolutely wept my way through all of it. seriously, just big, fat, tears. as a queer kid who attached herself to her english teacher nearly every year and grew up to be a teacher herself, this HURT in the best way. i loved the relationship between the girls and their joe, and the relationship logan and rosemary had with their students and teaching itself. the romance was also a perfect childhood friends to enemies to lovers. they were real and messy and mean sometimes, but it was BELIEVABLE ...
