What stopped This Time Tomorrow from being a five-star read for me was the aforementioned pacing. The beats and revelations that happened in the second half of act two felt like they belonged in the first half of act two. The way the book sped up at the end was, I think, intentionally disjointed; but for how long the book is, I wish some of the slowness of the beginning had been sacrificed to make room for another turn near the end.

I loved that this book 1. featured a non-extraordinary main character and 2. focused on the relationship between an adult daughter and her father. It was refreshing to see a narrator who isn't perfect, has a relatively average life, and still finds small things to appreciate in her everyday. It also explored a unique and wholesome relationship of a daughter and single father, and ultimately placed this relationship over any friendships or romantic relationships in the book. I could feel the emotions she was experiencing as she re-lived her life as her teenage self and was able to gain a new appreciation for all the moments she shared with her dad, especially in moments where she was initially blinded by teenage angst. Overall very well-written and emotional, and knowing that the book was based on the author's relationship with her father makes it even better.
