i'm too lazy to write an actual review because we'd be here all night if i listed all the great things about this book, so here are my main thoughts. ridiculously funny. great banter and characters. the romance is also very well developed even though it takes place over the course of a single day which is very impressive. definitely reading the sequel soon.

This book was really cute and fun. Rowan and Neil have hated each other all throughout high school competing with each other to be the best. On the last day, the senior class play Howl which is an annual scavenger hunt/assassin game for the senior class before they graduate. A group of seniors decide to gang up to beat Rowan and Neil, so R and N decide to team up. During this game, they come to know each other more and deeper outside of school. this book was so fun and the characters were so fun. The journey for them changing feelings about each other is sweet and tugs at your attention. The game was really fun and provided some really fun and cute moments. The ending is amazing and you can see that they are in love. In my book there was a point of view of the beginning of the journey in Neil’s point of view and that was really cute. I would have loved to seen more in his point of view. This book was really cute and fun that I recommend this if you want good young adult romance.

REVIEW: TODAY TONIGHT TOMORROW BY RACHEL LYNN SOLOMAN
 
RATING: 4.5/5
 
SYNOPSIS: Today, she hates him. It’s the last day of senior year. Rowan Roth and Neil McNair have been bitter rivals for all of high school, clashing on test scores, student council elections, and even gym class pull-up contests. While Rowan, who secretly wants to write romance novels, is anxious about the future, she’d love to beat her infuriating nemesis one last time.

Tonight, she puts up with him. When Neil is named valedictorian, Rowan has only one chance at victory: Howl, a senior class game that takes them all over Seattle, a farewell tour of the city she loves. But after learning a group of seniors is out to get them, she and Neil reluctantly decide to team up until they’re the last players left—and then they’ll destroy each other.

As Rowan spends more time with Neil, she realizes he’s much more than the awkward linguistics nerd she’s sparred with for the past four years. And, perhaps, this boy she claims to despise might actually be the boy of her dreams. Tomorrow … maybe she’s already fallen for him.
 
this was a random pickup from my physical tbr because I just needed something to hold me over until the next day (when a highly anticipated release came out heh) and I ended up loving it !!! sometimes you just need a YA contemporary romance, & that's exactly what this was. I love an academics rivals to lovers plot line + the game aspect of it made it 10x more fun. I would love to pick up the next book in the series, and will also be checking out this author's other books!

Today Tonight Tomorrow
by Rachel Lynn Solomon was such a fun surprise! I expected something light-hearted and a little cheesy—and it definitely was—but it also had a lot more depth than I thought it would. Not every fluffy YA romance pulls that off, but this one really does.


It reminded me a lot of Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist—can you believe that came out almost 20 years ago? This book feels like a sweet nod to that one, with the 24-hour timeline and the classic enemies-to-lovers setup (which, let’s be honest, I’m clearly a sucker for).


The whole story happens just before high school graduation, and since my daughter just graduated last week, the timing felt kind of perfect. It brought up all those old feelings—excitement, nerves, that weird mix of freedom and uncertainty that comes right before everything changes.


If you like YA romances and have a soft spot for enemies-to-lovers stories, I definitely recommend picking this one up.
