High school rivals Rowan Roth and Neil McNair have competed to be the best in their class since freshman year, and it is all about to come to an end. On the last day of senior year, they take their battle one step further, trying to beat each other in a city-wide scavenger hunt called Howl: the senior class’s final goodbye. When a group of seniors teams up to sabotage the game for Rowan and Neil, they call a truce to help each other stay in the game until the end. While Rowan can’t imagine their relationship as anything but hostile, as they scour the city together, they find more than just the clues for their scavenger hunt: love.
Author Rachel Lynn Solomon has created an authentic portrayal of saying goodbye to high school and the roller coaster of emotion that comes with ending this chapter in one’s life. Rowan Roth is an extremely relatable feminist character with perfectionist tendencies and a competitive side who learns to accept the inevitable changes in her life. The story itself always keeps the reader on their toes with the dynamics of the characters constantly changing in unexpected ways. There are also themes of women and religious empowerment, which have a heavy influence on both the characters and the plot. Today Tonight Tomorrow is especially perfect for 2020 graduates who didn’t get to experience this huge stepping stone in life, as well as readers who can’t put down a book about infuriatingly lovable enemies turned lovers.
Today Tonight Tomorrow releases on July 28th 2020.
