  • Find me an Alison Cochrun book that I won't rate 5 stars - that's right YOU CAN'T
  • This is such a set of wild coincidences that lead to Sadie and Mal being on this trip together that it's almost silly, and I love it
  • Honestly, yelling I THINK I'M A LESBIAN to the person next to you on a plane because you think you're about to die and they seem queer, NOT dying, and then having to spend the next 2 weeks not just on a trip with said person but you're also roommates? Yes please very good
  • Loved the little bad blog posts between chapters (and watching them get better as Sadie got more comfortable with everything)
  • I really felt for Sadie during this book. It was basically a coming-of-age, except she's 35 and has that awful awful feeling that she's "too late" to so much of what she's learning about herself. Comphet is a real bitch
