Reviews with content warning for Bullying - Today Tonight Tomorrow

probably the best contemporary romance novel I've ever read — like Neil, I'm not an avid enjoyer of the genre either, but it does please me to find a good love story every now and then. As someone who has always prioritized her GPA above all else, this book hit a little too close to home.. nevertheless, I enjoyed it, because what is better than enemies to lovers? Enemies to lovers but make it academic <3

I read Today, Tonight, Tomorrow with my book club, and it was a great read to do so! Overall, it is so much fun and a perfect transition from the school year into summer.
This novel follows Rowan Roth, aspiring romance writer and salutatorian, as she competes with arch enemy Neil McNair (valedictorian and academic rival) to win a senior competition called Howl. When unforeseen circumstances force the two to compete together, they learn that maybe each others company isn’t so bad. In fact, they could become…friends? Maybe more? You’ll have to read to find out:)
I loved that within the progression of Rowan and Neil’s relationship, both become self assured as well. For any seniors with doubts or worries about the future, this story might resonate with you!
Despite enjoying these elements, there was a “love factor that was missing for me.” This is by no means a fault of the author, whom I adore the backlist of! Books connect more with some than others! For fans of YA romance, academic rivals to lovers, and guy falls first tropes, I would highly recommend Today, Tonight, Tomorrow

I thought this was a really vulnerable read, had great character development, absolutely loved the Jewish representation included, the fact sex was openly discussed (MCs are 18) and treated as a completely normal thing. Loved the focus on friendship, being fearless in talking about what we like/what we want to do, overcoming hardships, and giving ourselves grace when the outcome looks different than expected. Really loved this one.

This book did the 'academic rivals to lovers' trope justice in its own special way. The way Rowan and Neil connected throughout the book is beautiful. However, I wish this book took place over a larger span of time since

them getting together after one night of revelations seemed a bit rushed

but it makes sense with the title, so it can be overlooked :)
