This was gut wrenching and lovely all at once. A very atypical romance novel, but I think that's what made it extra impactful. The combination of love and death feels like an odd one, but Cochrun pulls it off expertly. Some parts of the dialogue were a bit cringey (using queer icons' names in place of 'oh my god' or some cheesy/cliched lines), but the rest of the story made that easy to move past. It's so many different things and stories rolled into one, and I think it's a really special book that I won't soon forget. Thanks to goodreads for the arc <3
