This was an EMOTIONAL book. It was funny, insightful, poignant. It is an interesting twist on a time traveling trope. I wasn't sure I was going to be able to read it now due to things going on in my life (warning - check trigger warnings) but I was so intrigued that I had to keep reading and I'm glad I did. Until the future.

This was my first Emma Straub novel and I really enjoyed it! Her writing style is so easy to read and it almost feels like you are conversing with a close friend. This Time Tomorrow centers around Alice, a 40-year-old woman who finds herself back in 1996 on her 16th birthday after some mysterious time travel. There are some major 13 Going on 30 vibes…but in the opposite direction. I think that is one of the reasons I enjoyed this book so much.
This Time Tomorrow asks readers the question, “If you could go back in time and change one thing, what would it be? And would it alter your entire future?” It didn’t give me those 5⭐️ vibes, but it was pretty close. It also made me think about my relationship with my parents as the relationship between Alice and her father plays a major role in the novel. This touching, heartwarming story is one you will want to add to your TBR.

Some books are to be read with your mind. This is a book that has to be read with the heart. Emma Straub has written a quiet yet deeply emotional book that was completely devoid of manipulation, or over-the-top drama, or forced humor. Some readers will love the 90s pop culture references. Some readers will love the time travel story line. What I loved the most was that this was basically a love story between a daughter and her father.
