A Publishers Weekly, BookRiot, and Elle Best Romance of the Year
The author of the "sexy, insightful, and utterly charming" (BuzzFeed) Kiss Her Once for Me returns with a 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 aren't quite living the lives of adventure they imagined for themselves. Still in their small town and working as teachers at their alma mater, they're 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 other—and their complicated past—they 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, they're 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 trip—from Washington state to the Grand Canyon, from the Gulf Coast to coastal Maine—that will chart a new future and perhaps lead them back to one another.

Starred review from January 29, 2024
Cochrun (Kiss Her Once for Me) maps out the road trip of a lifetime in this funny, poignant, and frequently tear-jerking queer rom-com. Logan and Rosemary were childhood best friends—until a devastating falling out. Now they’re adults, and even though both women followed in the footsteps of their beloved mentor, queer English teacher Joe Delgado, and came back to teach at their former high school, they still aren’t speaking. When Joe’s cancer becomes terminal, he demands they help him fulfil his final wish of driving from Oregon to his cottage in Maine. He insists it has to be both of them, so impulsive Logan and uptight Rosemary grudgingly agree to try to tolerate each other for the six days Rosemary’s itemized itinerary says it will take to cross the country. But Joe has secrets, and so do both Logan and Rosemary. Soon they’re miles off course, and on their way to a destination they never expected. Cochrun conjures the feeling of infinite possibility that comes from summer on the open road while exploring the intricacies of love and the grief of an unfulfilled life. Complete with a beautiful romantic reunion, this unforgettable, heart-tugging romance is Cochrun’s best yet. Agent: Bibi Lewis, Ethan Ellenberg Literary. -

Joe Delgado, Rosemary Hale's beloved old high-school teacher, has terminal cancer. Joe's final wish is for Rosemary to drive him from Oregon to Maine. Rosemary is happy to do anything for Joe until she discovers that he has also asked Logan Maletis to be part of the trip. Something happened right before high school that turned Rosemary and Logan, once the best of friends, and who both now teach at the same high school they attended, into bitter rivals. Can Rosemary and Logan set aside their differences long enough to grant Joe his last wish? Or will being trapped together in a car for a week push Rosemary and Logan even further apart? Cochrun (The Charm Offensive, 2021) effortlessly toggles back and forth between moments of snort-worthy comedy and heartbreaking emotional angst in this unforgettable queer love story that beautifully celebrates the powerful impact the right teacher can have on a student's life and the absolute joy of finding someone who sees and loves you for the person you are.COPYRIGHT(2024) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
