Synopsis:

They fell for each other in just twenty-four hours. Now Rowan and Neil embark on a long-distance relationship during their first year of college in this romantic, dual points of view sequel to Today Tonight Tomorrow . 199310463

When longtime rivals Rowan Roth and Neil McNair confessed their feelings on the last day of senior year, they knew they’d only have a couple months together before they left for college. Now summer is over, and they’re determined to make their relationship work as they begin school in different states.

In Boston, Rowan is eager to be among other aspiring novelists, learning from a creative writing professor she adores. She’s just not sure why she suddenly can’t seem to find her voice.

In New York, Neil embraces the chaos of the city, clicking with a new friend group more easily than he anticipated. But when his past refuses to leave him alone, he doesn’t know how to handle his rapidly changing mental health—or how to talk about it with the girl he loves.

Over a year of late-night phone calls, weekend visits, and East Coast adventures, Rowan and Neil fall for each other again and again as they grapple with the uncertainty of their new lives. They’ve spent so many years at odds with each other—now that they’re finally on the same team, what does the future hold for them?

*I received an e-arc via Netgalley from the publisher for review. Thank you for the opportunity. All thoughts are my own*

I was so excited when this book was announced as I loved Today Tonight Tomorrow so much! This sequel did not disappoint, and it was just as good as the first. This story follows Rowan and Neil as they navigate the first year of their relationship, at the same time that they’re both attending their first year of college while in different cities. They’re both going through some major life changes while figuring out exactly what they mean to each other. 

I really loved seeing things from both Rowan and Neil’s viewpoints and the growth in their characters throughout the story. It brought me back to my college days. I love Rowan and Neil so much and I’m so happy that I got to spend more time with them.

I highly recommend to those that enjoyed the first book and for fans of Rachel Lynn Solomon.
