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

Overall, it’s simultaneously heartwarming and heartbreaking. Would absolutely recommend!

If you're having a "mid-life crisis", have ever lost a parent, or both - this book is like a punch in the heart. But in a beautiful, I needed that cry, sort of way.

It wasn’t my favorite book, but I still enjoyed it a lot and really cared for some of the characters. The general plot was interesting too! I also feel like it was a little more different than what I typically read, so that was fun too. Overall, ‘twas a good read indeed

“Now, please, go tell someone how much you love them.”
This was a wholesome father-daughter love story.
After drinking a little too much on her 40th birthday and waking up in her childhood bedroom, Alice doesn’t expect to be 16 again. Who rightfully would?
To go from visiting her dad on his deathbed at the hospital to seeing him alive, vibrant, and young? Whew, this one tugged at the heart strings. For some reason, Alice is given a second chance to spend time with her dad, actually appreciate their time together, and figure out what life is really all about.
This Time Tomorrow is a lovely mix between The Time Traveler’s Wife and The Midnight Library. It’s so much more than the “what ifs” we often see in the time traveling trope. It’s a nod to 90’s nostalgia, the importance of relationships, and celebrating the tiny, messy, everyday moments in life. I hope you enjoy the charm, heart, and wit Straub put into this book as much as I did.
