This is very fast paced. Everything happens within twenty-four hours. It's very cute, heartwarming, mentions important topics but still wholesome. An easy read for in between.

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 wanted to read this book as I loved the Weather Girl and enjoyed the Ex-Talk. So obviously I wanted to read more of her work. God, as a 23-year-old, I shouldn’t be relating to Rowan as much as I did.

This book follows Rowan Roth. It's the last day of the senior year and Rowan and her enemy Neil McNair have been rivals for all of high school, clashing on test scores, student council elections, and even gym class pull-up contests. While Rowan, who secretly wants to write romance novels is anxious about the future, she’d love to beat Neil one last time. Tonight, she puts up with him. When Neil is named valedictorian over her, Rowan has only one chance at victory: Howl, a senior class game that takes them all over Seattle, a farewell tour of the city she loves. But after learning that a group of seniors are out to them, she and Neil reluctantly decide to team up until they’re the last players left – and then they’ll destroy each other. As Rowan spends more time with Neil, she realizes he’s much more than the awkward linguistics nerd she sparred with for the past four years. And, perhaps, this boy she claims to despise might actually be the boy of her dreams. And maybe by tomorrow she has fallen in love with him.

I love the trope of I'm bullying you because that’s the only way to talk to you trope. I love it I love it I love it. I liked the storyline of this and how it was done over one day rather than a few months. It kept the book very fast-paced. I love Rowan. The whole time I just wanted to give her the biggest hug and tell her that 23-year-olds still feel the same way. And that it is okay to be a dreamer. I also relate to her having to have the perfect day or routines for some things and then when they don’t go right or plans change it can unsettle her - I'm pretty much like that so from the get-go when she had that coffee incident on her dress, I was fuming for her.

I wasn’t massive in love with Neil, as I have been with other MCs, except for the tough subject of his dad being absent, there wasn’t much to him, and he felt very two dimensional. I get why it was done in one day, but I want another book about them in college with a more slow-paced adult book with them trying to navigate a long-distance relationship. Or maybe a book from Rowan’s friends POV in college.
