This was my first Emma Straub novel and I really enjoyed it! Her writing style is so easy to read and it almost feels like you are conversing with a close friend. This Time Tomorrow centers around Alice, a 40-year-old woman who finds herself back in 1996 on her 16th birthday after some mysterious time travel. There are some major 13 Going on 30 vibes…but in the opposite direction. I think that is one of the reasons I enjoyed this book so much.
This Time Tomorrow asks readers the question, “If you could go back in time and change one thing, what would it be? And would it alter your entire future?” It didn’t give me those 5⭐️ vibes, but it was pretty close. It also made me think about my relationship with my parents as the relationship between Alice and her father plays a major role in the novel. This touching, heartwarming story is one you will want to add to your TBR.
