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?

I read this because someone recommended it

I listened to the audible version of this book.

Good: the author as found their writing voice and style.

Bad: I was hoping once the time traveling FINALLY started half way through the book, it would get better. It did not. Did I mention I was a teen in the 90’s too? Yet I was struggling to sink into the story.
Ugly: I really wanted to like this book because I love all things time travel, but, BUT I was bored.
Yes, it has a deeper meaning of life and grief but it was still lacking actual life. In the end, it was all just about a girl and her daddy issues.

Only just OK

A long time to get through an uninteresting plot. Maybe should be listed as sci-fi?

Thumbs up

I enjoyed this book! I thought it was well written, and very well narrated. I was especially pleased because I got it for free!

Great Book!!

This was a very great listen. The story was well written and the narrator was great!

This Time Tomorrow

I love this book I will definitely read it and hear it again and again. I wish I had read it when I was younger. I think it might’ve changed my Awareness to a degree just to be kinder to the people around me when dealing with their loss. Often I didn’t know what to say so I said nothing. And yes it made me cry!
