After falling for each other in just 24 hours, Neil and Rowan are now embarking on a long distance relationship for their first year of college. Rowan finds herself in Boston, ready to write the next great romance novel. Despite finally actually being in love, she can’t seem to find her writing voice.
Neil is in New York, finding himself in a new friend group and settling into college life. But his past keeps haunting him, bringing to light new things about his mental health. Will Neil and Rowan be able to make it work? Or will the first year of college find them growing apart?
Thanks to Simon & Schuster and NetGalley for an advanced copy of Past Present Future to review! Today Tonight Tomorrow was a fun rivals to lovers story, and it’s cool to see how their relationship changes into the future.
This book covers Neil and Rowan’s entire first year at college, and all of their fears and anxieties felt so realistic. A lot of teenagers have so many insecurities going into college, especially when it comes to choosing a major. There’s so much pressure to get it right, and Neil and Rowan definitely feel that throughout the book.
Their relationship also felt pretty realistic to a first year of college relationship. They really hadn’t been dating all that long before going off to college, but they had spent years being rivals. Throughout the story, they have to learn how to communicate; not just because of the distance, but because their relationship also moves into new territory, both physically and emotionally. A lot of the situations they find themselves in will be relatable to teens also moving into college while in a relationship.
In addition to the romance, Neil makes some important discoveries about mental health, and the representation of that felt pretty well done to me. He learns how to cope with it, and Rowan gives him the space to do so.
The side cast of characters is also fantastic; the new people they both meet in college are so fun. If you’re looking for a good romance to start off your summer, definitely check this one out!

Quick, easy, and light read! I had so much fun getting to read more about Neil and Rowan after graduation. This book had me laughing, crying, feeling giddy, and more. Neil and Rowan share their experiences adjusting to university, to a long distance relationship, and traverse through mental struggles. I appreciated the story and fell in love with Neil and Rowan’s relationship.

Rowan and Neil made their charming debut in Today Tonight Tomorrow and after a magical summer together, they are now embarking on a long-distance relationship in Past Present Future.
After moving across the country to attend colleges on the East Coast, Rowan and Neil know they love each other, but everything else feels more than a little uncertain. They live four hours apart, college is not everything they dreamed it would be, and long distance is harder than either expected.
Rowan and Neil are determined to prove that their love can withstand all obstacles, but they must learn to navigate the complexities of first love, homesickness, and familial trauma.
I adored Rowan and Neil’s story and although I may sound greedy, I hope we get to see more of them in the future.

I was so excited to see Neil and Rowan tackle college and their long-distance relationship! To be small fish in a bigger pond so to speak. It brought me back to my college days for sure, the uncomfortable re-set of your life where you have to meet new friends, live with strangers, and learn how to cope on your own. I enjoyed that we got a dual perspective considering in book one we got mostly from Rowan's point of view. Man Neil went THROUGH IT! I resonated so much with Neil and his mental health plotline. I struggled with depression and anxiety my whole life, but it wasn't until I moved away for college that I realized not everyone had those same thoughts and that I needed to tackle the issue. I also liked the difficult plot with his dad. I think it will resonate with a lot of people. Rowan's struggle with her writing and opening up after hiding that side of her for so long was a great plot point, and I love her relationship with her teacher later in the book. Finishing this book left me in all the feels!
Thanks to the publisher for the ARC in return for an honest review. This book releases 6/4!
