From Little Stack
On her 40th birthday, Alice wakes up to discover she’s back in 1996 and it’s her 16th birthday again. In the present, her dad is dying, but in this past version he’s strong and healthy. As Alice lives life as a teen again, she contemplates whether she could do anything different to change the future, especially her father’s.
I love how time-travel books offer us not only nostalgia, but a chance to revisit all those what-ifs in our lives. This Time Tomorrow packs an extra emotional wallop as Alice reflects on her father’s mortality and the tender bond between them.
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?
