[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This Time Tomorrow by Emma Straub

I haven't loved all of her previous books so I was surprised by how much I liked this.[/quote]

More depth than I expected.  Love that it was about more than just finding romance!  (Not that finding romance is bad, of course.  But I enjoyed that it was a bit more ambitious and thought-provoking.)

Speaking of romances, I just finished Very Sincerely Yours, by Kerry Winfrey.  Sweet and straight-forward, but not at all vapid.  Though I didn't relate to the main character personally, I immediately felt so much empathy for her and her "journey". 
 Good stuff in a simple story.[/quote]

I agree - I think this was Emma Straub's best yet. Touching story with good characters and I thought the time travel was well-done too. [/quote]

So I had no idea Emma Straub was Peter Straub’s daughter. He died earlier this month, which makes this (already great) novel even more touching! 😢

She wrote a beautiful essay about him/them this week. Contains a few spoilers about the book, but nothing that would ruin the experience IMHO. Lovely piece of writing:
