This Time Tomorrow

This book captured two specific time and places so clearly. I also very much admired its structure in that it bounced back and forth in time but also followed the arch of her relationship with her father. I am not sure it is a title I will ever read again because there is a lot of sadness in these pages, but the way it conveyed memory and longing in such a short book was very worth the read.

I liked it, but I know I missed a lot as I’m not a sci-fi reader and this book is time travel based. Just didn’t really get it. Too “big brained” for me.

wasn’t what i was expecting (in a good way, mostly). i wish we got more about each character but all in all a thoughtful book.

I liked her other books better. Personally, I am not a fan of time travel books and think that is a large reason why this one did not do much for me.
