Hi! This book was so incredibly fun to write, and I can't wait to share it in summer 2020. While it's contemporary YA like my first two books, it's a romantic comedy (complete with a happy ending) and thus significantly more upbeat than YOU'LL MISS ME WHEN I'M GONE and OUR YEAR OF MAYBE. Some facts about it:

It's an enemies-to-lovers (or more accurately, rivals-to-lovers) romance.
It takes place in 24 hours on the last day of senior year.

I was so incredibly lucky to read an early version of this book! I loved this book, everything about it, and its a book that I wish I had as a teen. There were so many layers to this story, so Im just going to list them out.

One thing I absolutely adored was the deep and honest love and respect for romance novels. They werent treated like they were lesser, and I cant even begin to tell you how validating that is. To see books that are so often treated like trashy beach reads be revered and I was so incredibly lucky to read an early version of this book! I loved this book, everything about it, and it’s a book that I wish I had as a teen. There were so many layers to this story, so I’m just going to list them out.

One thing I absolutely adored was the deep and honest love and respect for romance novels. They weren’t treated like they were lesser, and I can’t even begin to tell you how validating that is. To see books that are so often treated like ‘trashy beach reads’ be revered and discussed as important piece of the literature canon was so important. Teen me needed books like this. Books that say the things you love and care about are valid, that you don’t have to be ashamed of loving these things because society is determined to put it down simply because you love it. It was so good for my heart to see this.

Rowan was such a fantastic main character, and her fear of what comes next was so relatable and so real. The last day of high school isn’t just a party, it’s standing on the edge of what was and what will be and being terrified you’ll never make it. And having no idea what ‘it’ even is, but knowing it won’t be what you know and what you’ve always excelled at and it was so well done in this book. I remember how scary it was to feel adulthood barreling toward you and not feeling ready to face it because it’s all uncertainty. Rowan has hopes and dreams and they also scare her and empower her and fulfill her, all at once, all at the same time, and the way she felt was so real. Without revealing too much, I will say she’s one of the bravest, boldest characters I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading.

Neil, the LI! I have so much love for him. First, let me say he is a teen boy who is an actual teen! He’s not some buff, chiseled man-god who has all his stuff together and happens to have a teen age slapped on to make him YA. He’s dorky and wears pants that are too short and jackets that are too long in the sleeves and his glasses are always slipping and he is into calligraphy and he’s covered in freckles. He’s that guy in your chemistry class who screwed up the grading curve for everyone. He’s that guy in line at Taco Bell cracking Star Wars jokes with his equally nerdy and endearing friends. Basically, he’s that guy you vaguely remember from a handful of grainy yearbook photos, but you know you might’ve had American Lit with him one year. And he is so much more than that. Because he is also one of the most beautiful, compassionate, and kind-hearted soft souls. And he’s so funny and sarcastic and flawed, but when he screws up, he’s given room to grow. He’s not perfect. He makes mistakes. He says the wrong things and does the wrong things and he also owns it and apologizes and he has the chance to do better. And I needed that soooooo much as a teen. To see characters who screw up and it’s not the end for them. To see characters who aren’t expected to be perfect, but who can be loved and cherished for exactly who they are. Because here’s something else that’s so incredibly important, when he’s been hurt, he’s given room to feel too.

These are characters who at their heart were written FOR teens, not just about them. And this is absolutely a romcom, it’s hilarious and the banter is so spot on, I was grinning so hard my cheeks hurt while reading this, but it’s also a layered and complex story about growing up and moving on and letting go, and learning that people aren’t always going to fit into neat little boxes. Sometimes opening yourself up and embracing who you are and letting other people show you who they really are will lead you to exactly where you need to be.

One of my all-time favorites, this book is not one to be missed. Highly, HIGHLY recommend. ...more

*Spoiler free*

I adore Rachel Lynn Solomon's books. She's the kind of amazing author that I will read literally anything she writes. She wrote two sad, heavy books and those aren't usually up my alley, but I loved them. I'm willing to try anything if she writes it. So even though I haven't loved a ton of 24 hour stories, I was super excited for this book.

I love this book so much. Just, everything about it is amazing. It's the kind of book you kind of want to squeeze because you love it so much. *Spoiler free*

She wrote two sad, heavy books and those aren't usually up my alley, but I loved them. I'm willing to try anything if she writes it. So even though I haven't loved a ton of 24 hour stories, I was super excited for this book.

I love this book so much. Just, everything about it is amazing. It's the kind of book you kind of want to squeeze because you love it so much. It's adorable, it's sweet, it's about nostalgia and regret. This book landed really close to home in ways I'm not 100% comfortable talking about, but it truly felt like I was apart of it. It burrowed its way into my heart and I don't think it's going to leave. I'm completely fine with that.

First off, this book felt like the tipping point between the end of highschool and the start of what comes after. It's full of the nostalgia, the fear of regret, the fear of what you could have missed out on, and the fear of what comes next. It feels so true to what those emotions really are. It felt so real, like this book was those feelings made into words.

Along with those emotions, I fell in love with Rowan. Because she was the one feeling them haha. But I related to her so much, so closely. I truly got what she was going through in a certain way and it just made me love her so much. She loves romance novels and wants to write them as a career! That's another thing I loved about this book, how it addressed the stigma behind romance novels and how people look down upon them. It was so awesome to read about a character who is so fully in love with them. She also has walls to protect her, she's nerdy, and she's an all around super cool person.

Neil was also really great! While he might love "White Men In Peril" (seriously, Rowan is a genius for coming up with that) books, he was a really great guy. He was awkward and sweet and a really solid person. He also loves a band called Free Puppies! (the exclamation point is important) which was honestly amazing. He and his friends also call themselves the Quadrilaterals which is the nerdiest thing ever and I love it.

I don't think I've ever read a book that takes place over such a short amount of time, but feels so full. It had all the character development, feel, and pacing of a book that takes place over a week. It was amazing. I fully got to know Rowan and Neil and their relationship was able to blossom. All while their figuring things out emotionally and playing an elaborate scavenger hunt. It was amazing.

Speaking of the scavenger hunt, my inner compeitor came out in full force because Rowan and Neil would take detours and I would just be silently screaming "GUYS KEEP MOVING YOU GOTTA WIN."

The romantic relationship was incredible. I love rival stories and this was an incredible one. Their relationship blossomed slowly but surely and it was amazing to watch their feelings change. Plus, they were just downright adorable.

Solomon always writes sex positive books and this one was no different. I loved how it was candid about sex, what it means, and how it isn't something dirty. Plus, watching Neil blush when talking about it was amazing.

All in all, this was an amazing book about romance novels, regret, nostalgia, imperfect cinnamon rolls, a scavenger hunt, rivals, with two amazing characters. I seriously loved it. ...more

The Hating Game meets Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist by way of Morgan Matson in this unforgettable romantic comedy about two rival overachievers whose relationship completely transforms over the course of twenty-four hours.

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 book had so much promise, but to me, it just fell flat. pancake flat.I didn't like either main character and I just could not get into the plotline as it was not engaging to me. As a librarian, if I do not learn something new or get engaged in the characters I did not truly read/finish the book (I skimmed through it) as there are too many good ones out there to read and review.

The first thing you must understands about me is that I love romance, but it wasn't always that way. For years, all through my time consuming YA (When Borders was still around, when Ellen Hopkins books were what I kept coming back to, when Melvin Burgess was a secret I hardly ever talked about.) when I was a teenager myself, I never gravitated toward romance as a genre.

Then, it changed in 2010 with Booktube practically losing its collective consciousness over how fantastic ANNA AND THE FRENCH The first thing you must understands about me is that I love romance, but it wasn't always that way. For years, all through my time consuming YA (When Borders was still around, when Ellen Hopkins books were what I kept coming back to, when Melvin Burgess was a secret I hardly ever talked about.) when I was a teenager myself, I never gravitated toward romance as a genre.

Then, it changed in 2010 with Booktube practically losing its collective consciousness over how fantastic ANNA AND THE FRENCH KISS by Stephanie Perkins was. I read it, out of curiosity, since I'd cultivated a space for myself in that corner of the internet. And I loved it. So much so that I began to (and continue to this day) seek out romances. I write YA romances now too, something my teenage writer self probably wouldn't believe if you told her.

So naturally, when I was accepted into The Raincoats street team for Rachel Lynn Solomon’s TODAY TONIGHT TOMORROW, I was elated. It was my most anticipated book of the year, and I couldn’t wait to read it!

To say TODAY TONIGHT TOMORROW is my new favorite book is the understatement of my entire time as a bookish content creator.

TODAY TONIGHT TOMORROW is an #ownvoices YA contemporary romance. It follows Rowan Roth and Neil McNair, two Jewish teenagers who have been academic rivals their entire high schools careers. On the night after their final day of senior year, however, a scavenger hunt called Howl is played amongst the senior class to compete for a cash prize, with the opportunity to take out your fellow classmates via hunting them down—if you have their name.

This game takes Rowan and Neil across Seattle as they reluctantly pair up to protect each other, as their only worthy adversary is the person against whom they’ve been competing for the last four years. However, with the more clues they collect, the more they learn about each other, and the closer they become, realizing that…perhaps, they’ve been falling in love this entire time.

I have a thread on Twitter detailing the majority of my wonderful reading experience, but I’ll condense it here:

The rivalry between Rowan and Neil is established from the first page. It’s hilarious, providing the reader with a fantastic base for their relationship. But one also must remember that this is a Rachel Lynn Solomon book. Her writing is rich and lyrical, without once veering into the territory of purple prose. She manages to tug on heartstrings with the smallest character interactions, immersing you inside of our protagonists during scenes with larger emotional impacts. (Such as the scene in Neil’s bedroom or the Shabbat dinner with Rowan’s parents after it’s discovered that Neil is Jewish, too.)
In that respect, I must draw attention to how Neil was handled. TODAY TONIGHT TOMORROW is told from Rowan’s perspective, so we’re never in Neil’s head ourselves. However, instead of being a seemingly impenetrable love interest who opens up at the last possible moment, Neil is open very early on with his own struggles, something that is a breath of fresh air in YA, and also blessedly appreciated.

Neil being an open, vulnerable love interest doesn’t mean TODAY TONIGHT TOMORROW is lacking both sexual and romantic tension. On the contrary! This book is FULL of it. From record stores, to their school’s library, to zoo exhibits, and beyond, the need for Rowan and Neil to either kiss or confess their love for each other was immense.

As much as I want to gush about those particulars right here, I’ll let you discover them for yourselves. Because I slammed my chair’s armrests more than once. And I may have felt tears. My heart was, and still is, so happy. Rachel, thank you so much for this opportunity to both read and promote TODAY TONIGHT TOMORROW (which is out June 16th). I cannot wait for other readers to fall in love with this book, just as I have! 💙☔ ...more

Rachel does it again!

Last year, I had the chance to meet Rachel in person at Vancouver's InfusionYA festival. Because of that, I read one of her books (You'll Miss Me When I'm Gone) and really enjoyed it! So when she offered an early copy, I jumped right to it.

The first couple things - this book is just so dang adorable. It's a love-hate relationship between two high school rivals, and I fell right into it. Adding on to that, the chemistry between the two characters was perfectly written! No Rachel does it again!

The first couple things - this book is just so dang adorable. It's a love-hate relationship between two high school rivals, and I fell right into it. Adding on to that, the chemistry between the two characters was perfectly written! No part of the book felt awkward or unrealistic by any means, and showed a lot of insight into the protagonist's life.

Now for the big points: I want to start off by applauding Rachel for all the research she must've done for this novel. This book, besides the cute romance, is literally a tour of Seattle. In the book, the characters go on a scavenger hunt around the city to find different "hints", and many of them are historical or significant points, which I can't say because of spoilers. My personal favourite was the last one though, since it was one of the only ones I know about. I felt like I got to learn a lot about Seattle through the book, and I'm excited for my next visit there!

Next thing I wanted to talk about was the build up of the romance. It was clear how much history the two characters had with each other, and nothing felt rushed or dragged out. Over the course of the book, or 24 hours in Rowan's day, we learn a lot about her and her nemesis, Neil. How they first met, how they came to being rivals, the way they begin to feel about each other as the day goes on. As with any good romance, there was suspense, but never too much or too little.

Most of the cons I find in books are from pacing, and this is the first book in a long long time that I found "perfectly paced" for my personal preferences. I think that the book taking place only over the space of 24 hours may be why, but every single chapter was full of action and not a single sentence was filler.

The last time I enjoyed a contemporary this much was back in 2016 when my favourite series ended, and books like this one are what inspire me to pick up something more than fantasy. I was blown away by everything T3 was, and I just can't wait for June when everyone else can read it.

Congratulations to Rachel for her newest book, and I hope that every other reader falls in love with this book like I have! Now, to get back to eating my imperfect cinnamon rolls... ...more
