beagley 's review for:
This Time Tomorrow
by Emma Straub
Not science fiction, not romance. Kind of a “dealing with life” book. The thing is? Very well written. Recommended for people who like reading books.
The plot, and you can probably figure this out within the first couple chapters: “affluent Caucasian American who is well loved and supported and doesn’t really have any problems, gets to go back in time to their 16th birthday and optionally change their future. They return to the present day and are now an even more affluent Caucasian American, loved and supported by even more people and somehow have even fewer real problems! …But, because a life-long smoker dad is dying of cancer at age 73, and because it’s always been very hard to know what to do with yourself when you are an affluent white American, they keep trying. Oh—and they are only real friends and romantic partners with POCs, who play vague supporting roles.
So, problematic and weird, but… well written. Very readable, clever, and even wise and self-aware at times.
