Here We Go Again by Alison Cochrun
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.

"Funny, tender, heart-wrenching, and hopeful. Here We Go Again is a love letter to educators and queer mentors, and opening up your heart even when it hurts. Alison Cochrun knocks it out of the park again."
—Rosie Danan, USA Today bestselling author of Do Your Worst

ReplyDeleteMy grade 4 teacher was a superlative teacher who gave me confidence and was helpful and sincere.
ReplyDeleteI had some great teachers while I was at school and I still write to one of them almost thirty years later! The teacher that I write to was so kind while I was dealing with a juvenile diabetes diagnosis while I was in her class. She had never taught a child with diabetes before so it was all very new to her too.
ReplyDeleteI would say my 9th grade World History teacher. He was so good because he told us stories like he was actually there.
ReplyDeleteI grew up in Australia. My teachers were all wonderful. My 3rd grade teacher was named Mrs. Smith and she looked like Queen Elizabeth. She made learning fun.
ReplyDeleteI would say that the teacher who was also the moderator for the high school yearbook. She helped us in the vision of the completed yearbook. Later on she would be my wedding coordinator.
ReplyDeleteMy first grade teacher who took the class to the newly opened branch library to get library cards.
ReplyDeleteMy third grade teacher is the one who made me want to be a teacher and my fourth grade teacher solidified that thought!

ReplyDeleteMy history teacher, I really loved to read about Arizona history and the wars and battles with the Indians.
ReplyDeleteMrs. Gallagher (RIP) took an interest in a very shy girl in yet another new school & helped me catch up during recess so the other kids didn't know. They don't make teachers like her anymore.
