This is definitely a reflective book. It made me think about my own life and what I might do if I went back to a certain time/place. Overall, a pleasant read, though I did find there was some inconsistencies and some parts dragged. It touches on love, grief, hope and family. It was fun at the same time as being thoughtful. I did feel the ending didn't sit quite right with the overall story, at least for me.

This was a really fun read. I found myself really emotional as I thought of my parents aging. It provided a lot of reflection on living in the moment and appreciating your choices. It was really fast paced and I loved it!

If you go by the blurb, this book sometimes slightly loses track of what it should be, but never long enough for me to get impatient, which is also due to the writing. As a result this was surprising, but also sweet and reflective throughout. Once the time travel aspect finally picks up, for a while it serves more as a reminder that Alice can actively make choices in her own life than as a way to come to terms with what’s happening to her father. Once the focus gets back to their relationship however, is when the story really comes together.

This was a pretty special story. It was so relatable. I mean, who really knows what they want from life; what they would do if they could try again? I think, however, our main character, Alice, learns what truly has meaning in her life through trial and error. It was a touching and thoughtful story. Would totally read it again!
Fun fact: the author's father is Peter Staub.

The author’s note reads: “I hope that you enjoyed this book and that it made you cry.” Well, I thoroughly enjoyed it and I absolutely sobbed my way through Part 6.
This Time Tomorrow is a story of love, loss, friendship, and finding yourself. It’s about what we would do if we only had more time and perspective. Main character Alice is about to turn 40, when she is magically transformed back to her 16th birthday. She needs to decide if she can make adjustments to her past, given what her future self knows.
I do love a good time travelling story. The way the time travel works in this is a unique twist. I really loved and related a lot to Alice. Despite being younger than her, I feel a lot of the same struggles she talks about- feeling like you’re running out of time, wanting to take your life in a completely new direction, watching your life pass you by. The other characters are equally charming and likable. Alice’s relationship with her father is so beautiful and special. I thought a few parts were a little bit slow, but it all comes together really nicely.
“Any story could be a comedy or a tragedy, depending on where you ended it. That was the magic, how the same story could be

told an infinite number of ways.“
Overall, it’s simultaneously heartwarming and heartbreaking. Would absolutely recommend!
