The summer before high school, best friends Logan Maletis and Rosemary Hale became bitter enemies; the two women haven’t spoken since. Now in their 30s and stuck in their small, conservative town, working at their alma mater, chaotic Logan and tightly wound Rosemary are thrown together again as they accompany their beloved former English teacher on the last road trip of his life. Their journey takes them from the coast of Oregon to the Southwestern desert, finally ending in Maine. What they learn along the way will change their lives forever. Cochrun’s (
Kiss Her Once for Me) newest novel is a fun yet emotional story, detailing the women’s transformation as they learn about living, dying, and letting go of past hurts. Natalie Naudus and Jeremy Carlisle Parker give voice to Logan, Rosemary, and their teacher, Joe, as they navigate country roads and Joe’s final days with tenderness, humor, and love.
VERDICT Much more than a romance or a summer road trip tale, Cochrun’s latest is a testament to the importance of family, whether blood or chosen, and living life to the fullest. Joyful and unforgettable.
