Omg Rachel really blew it out of the park with Past Present Future, and ended the duology strong! I was really curious how Neil and Rowan’s story would continue after the Howl and how they’d navigate going to two different colleges. What Rachel wrote was so much more than a YA romance, but a very honest (and at times heart wrenching) depiction of finding yourself in college, the college experience, navigating making and keeping both friendships and relationships, figuring out what you want to do with your life, and mental health. 

The storytelling really expanded upon what we got in Today Tonight Tomorrow. The Jewish rep was meaningful as always. Also, I give the book 2.5 🌶️ for spice (basic, but not explicit) spicy scenes. This series will stay with me for a long time and I’m so thankful I read it as well as an opportunity to read the ARC!

Thank you to Simon Teen for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest opinion.
