Book Review: This Time Tomorrow by Emma Straub

Emotional Damage! 😭 This book has caused me emotional trauma! I spent most of the day crying while reading!

Thoughts:

⏳As a Daddy’s Girl it hit me really hard. Alice loves her dad and is having to face the fact that he may very well die any day now. She can no longer really talk to him and misses him deeply. She thinks about all the things she wanted to talk to him about, but can’t.

⏳Her life isn’t exactly what she has wanted it to be, and she realizes that she hasn’t really been living well. She’s just going through the motions.

⏳On her 40th birthday she gets sent back in time to relive her 16th birthday. She fills that day with as much of her dad’s love that she can, she changes some things.

⏳ She finds that she can relive this day whenever she wants, and spends a lot of time reliving a day that she felt her fathers love.

⏳But all good things have to end. She has to let go at some point, because time travel isn’t exactly good for your health.

I loved this book, so I feel I should explain the reasons I didn’t give it 5 stars:

📖 The beginning was very long winded and too much time was spent introducing EVERY character possible.

📖 There were many descriptions and details that were not necessary to the plot.
