7/10, a very touching book that handles the topic of grief and love in a unique manner. i do think some aspects of the story could have been expanded on more (for example, the impact of Serena leaving on Alice) and some scenes in the second half of the book involving time travel felt a bit rushed or sloppy, but overall an enjoyable read, I enjoyed it much more than all adults here
The second I came across the blurb for This Time Tomorrow, I knew I’d have to read it. It’s just one of those books that leaves you feeling warm inside, like a 2000s romcom.
When Alice wakes up after her 40th birthday to discover that it’s the morning of her 16th birthday again, she decides she can try and change things for the better. Time travel isn’t a new trope, but Straub does it so uniquely and beautifully - I raced through the book in several sittings. Her everyday life observations are so real, so on point, that what could easily become ridiculous is transformed into the premise of a beautiful story on human relationships and belonging.
If you’re a fan of 13 Going on 30 (which I am) and like stories set in New York (which I do) you’ll love this one. It’s emotional but hopeful, and will make you smile but also cry. A warning, though - a big part of this story deals with the death of a parent, which can of course be very difficult to read about.
I had grown to love the characters in this book so much that I was left with a bit of a hole in my heart when it ended. I’ve thought about it regularly since then, and would strongly recommend picking this one up.
A massive thanks to Penguin Michael Joseph for sending me an advance copy!
