While we might sometimes wish we could have a do-over for the day, Clark can attest that repeating the same day over and over again gets old quick. He's been counting the September 19ths, and 300+ times has been more than enough for him. He's looking to escape the loop when he meets someone that makes him forget if just for a moment when he is stuck.

Highly recommend for fans of light science fiction with a romance twist.

If I See You Again Tomorrow is a time loop story set in Chicago. When the book starts, Clark is in the middle of the time loop, rather than just starting of the loop. 

There is a love story that happens in the beginning of the book, but the rest of the book is NOT romance focused. 

The focus is on Clark completing the following tasks in order to combat his loneliness:
1. Try to make a new friend.
2. Help someone who could use it.
3. Be vulnerable so others can be too.
4. Do the thing that scares you.

This was an easy and enjoyable read with compelling side characters. 

If you are looking for another YA time loop book, I recommend See You Yesterday by Rachel Lynn Solomon.

TW: Child death and parent death mentioned but not shown, grief experienced by a side character, infidelity briefly mentioned, brief reference to police brutality and racism, a reference to drinking and being hungover but not shown, dangerous driving

There’s a lot of times this book tells instead of shows and a lot of things could have been expanded on but in general I enjoyed this book and got invested in the characters and how the plot would play out. The author did a good job not being too repetitive despite the plot being about the same day repeating. Would definitely recommend this book to people who are shy or find it hard to make friends.

This was so much more than a YA queer romance with time loops and I absolutely adored it. It was so fun to be on this wild, mysterious ride of why Clark and Beau are Trapped and Clark's attempts to get them out.

I thought the romance would be more of the plot, but I was honestly not disappointed that instead we got to see Clark learn about himself, his family, and friends. The cover certainly makes it seem like we would get more scenes of the two of them, but instead it was more of a contemporary coming-of-age story. I'm perfectly content with that, especially with that ending just tugging at all my heartstrings.

A fun, heartfelt YA read with queer rep, time loops, and vulnerability.
