What if you could take a vacation to your past?
With her celebrated humor, insight, and heart, beloved New York Times bestseller Emma Straub offers her own twist on traditional time travel tropes and a different kind of love story.
On the eve of her fortieth birthday, Alice’s life isn’t terrible. She likes her job, even if it isn’t exactly the one she expected. She’s happy with her apartment, her romantic status, and her independence, and she adores her lifelong best friend. But her father is ailing, and it feels to her as if something is missing. When she wakes up the next morning, she finds herself back in 1996, reliving her sixteenth birthday. But it isn’t just her adolescent body that shocks her, or seeing her high school crush—it’s her dad, the vital, charming, forty-something version of her father with whom she is reunited. Now armed with a new perspective on her own life and his, some past events take on new meaning. Is there anything that she would change if she could?
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Emma Straub takes a beloved romantic-comedy trope—the middle-aged woman’s sudden return to her teenage years—in a delightful new direction. Her heroine, Alice, is on the verge of turning 40 and, you guys, she’s fine with it. She’s content with her job, her apartment, her love life…everything except her strained relationship with her ailing father. So when Alice wakes up in 1996, once again a 16-year-old, she doesn’t go chasing after one of her hunky alt-rocker classmates, instead spending her time hanging out with her dad, who turns out to be kinda awesome. Straub absolutely nails the whole Clueless-meets-My So-Called Life vibe of the mid-’90s Upper West Side, never letting the parent-child relationship get too melodramatic or schmaltzy. This Time Tomorrow is nostalgic, wistful, charming, and a whole lot of fun.
