This Time Tomorrow by Emma Straub

ladybugvalentine's review against another edition

I think I found this book when I really need it since I am dealing with a sick parent and realizing what taking care of her means. This book definitely made me cry, laugh and just see things from another perspective which is why I loved it.

I desperately wanted the dad to live but I knew that even if Alice could help him, eventually she would lose her. The fact that he got sick because he went to see Alice be born so many times was so sad but also so beautiful. I don't know if I could have stopped myself from telling him like Alice did but I understand where she was coming from. The love he had for her was so pure and just thinking about it makes me tear up.

I really enjoyed hearing about her other lives and how her best friend was always there even if they didn't have time to see each other as often. Also, the fact that her friend believed her and tried to help her.

I'll definitely read more of Miss Straub's books because this one just blew me away.

A fun concept, but a few unanswered questions and plot holes. The relationships were endearing, and I'd have loved to have read more  nteresting 'alternate futures'!

An interesting story- mostly about the relationship of a woman and her father, but also about being a teenager, how our choices impact our future, and time travel.

I found the story was overall good, but I had trouble really getting into the characters & found the time travel trope a bit receptive.
