It was so lovely to be back in this universe and follow the characters along their journey as they're grown up and face the difficulties of being away at uni.

I love RLS books. This sequel wasn’t as good as the first one. I felt like the story didn’t need to be told.

Thank you so much to Simon & Schuster for the eARC, and to my local library for the audio listen! These are my honest thoughts.
I loved this story. RLS was able to remind me why I fell in love with reading, and more specifically, the magic of YA romance. I adored this story of high school senior rivals, and the short timespan of this story capturing their last day of high school, their senior class activity, and the romance that's been quietly brewing between the two of them for all of high school. Their academic rivals, and their relationship ends up being so much more than Rowan initially thought. Neil, on the other hand, knows exactly what's in front of him with Rowan, but he's a nerdy guy and his home life isn't perfect. These two go from frenemies to friends to something so much more, and it just reminded me so much of my own high school crushes turned more. There was energy between these two, and the care that went into hating each other transformed so quickly in this book, but the tension leading up to it (off page) was ELECTRIC.
I also adored that this book took place all over Seattle, the Jewish rep, and diverse cast of friends, how nerdy everyone is, the parents/siblings, etc. It was just... really solid.

LOVEEEEE this book and I read this so fast and devoured it uppppp!!! This book has heartfelt vibes of life and young adult romance. 4.5 stars!!!!

A beautifully crafted story about love, fate, and second chances. Solomon’s writing is tender, poignant, and brimming with heart.

Thank you to NetGalley and Simon and Schuster publishing for this E-ARC.
If I am honest I really only care about Skylar!! He is such a loving character and I need a book about him please. Don’t get me wrong. Rowan and Neil are cute also. But Skylar is the book. A big goofball that wants to take classes about oranges? But he ends up being the sweetest, most thoughtful best friend? I love it.
This is the second book about Rowan and Neil. It follows them after their summer of dating when they go off to college. In separate states. After only dating for 3 months. What could go wrong. They are absolutely adorable together. It brings up family troubles, troubles in school during your first year. The beginnings of new friendships. It’s a beautiful story about two people who are in love and how they navigate their first year of college. A great read.

This book was everything I wanted it to be. I love Today Tonight Tomorrow and had absolutely no idea it was getting a sequel until this one popped up, nand it was a worthy follow up to such a lovely book.

I can’t possibly write a review right now but UGH my little heart broke so much during this one. these characters own my heart!! I loved seeing them in a completely new setting. I usually don't enjoy sequels because I don't want my characters to go through MORE conflict, but this one just took me back to my college days and I related so much to both of these characters.

It felt like a breath of fresh air ro read about Rowan and Neil again. I read T3 back in 2022 and I fell in love with them at first sight. The serious undertone of this book made it seem more real given the fact that R & N are in college now and have adult problems to deal with and despite that, the book was incredibly romantic, you can feel how much they love each other and that's what makes me love these two.

This was such a good follow up to today tonight tomorrow.
I laughed, I cried, I swooned. Rowan and Neil are the ultimate book couple and I love that we got an HEA for their story.
Thank you to publisher for the eARC in exchange for a review.

This book is every bit witty and swoon-worthy as the previous installment. Solomon writes characters that feel so real and relatable, that you can't help but root for and grapples with the question, 'what happens after the happily ever after?' Watching Rowan and Neil navigate new adulthood and freedom, mental health, and the pressures of college squeezed my heart and held my hand in equal measure and I loved the dual point of view. Today, Tonight, Tomorrow is a go-to recommendation when someone is looking for a sharp and un-put-down-able teen romance, and I can't wait to share the sequel with friends and library patrons alike.

I love Rowan and Neil! I've loved them since the first book, and it was so great to see them again. Rachel is such a great writer, and I loved how she continued their story and dynamic. When I first heard of this sequel, I was wary, but I loved how it turned out. If you're a fan of the first book, then I would recommend it.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Sequels always make me a little nervous, but with this one I had no reason to be! It was a great story and I loved the revisiting of these two characters. Rachel Lynn Solomon did a wonderful job and my students will be pulling this off my shelf at school.

I'm probably in the minority, but I don't think we needed this story. It felt dragged out to me and I wasn't as invested in Neil and Rowan as in TTT. :(

Today Tonight Tomorrow is one of my favorite books, and this sequel is just as romantic and swoon-worthy.
Past Present Future takes us inside the growing relationship between Rowan and Neil through a dual POV book. They’ve spent their entire academic lives together, but they’ve only been romantically together for one summer before they both go to their different colleges. As they learn about themselves apart, they also have to learn how to make their relationship work together.
I absolutely loved this book from top to bottom. I laughed, I cried, I hugged the book to my chest. This is such a good look at what a freshman year of college looks like, that you can plan out how you want your life to look, but life will almost always have other plans.
Getting Neil’s POV in this was just amazing. Prior to this, we only had the little extra bonus short story from Solomon, but now? Getting into the head of this boy who’s been in love with Rowan Roth for most of his life? It’s more than I can handle. And this is to say nothing of how real Rowan’s chapters are. You feel for her, feel for what she’s going through, and you love her that much more.
I love these books and these characters so much. I could read their entire lives.

Took me so long to finish this but I think it’s because, like the author, I wasn’t ready to let go of Rowan and Neil. While I don’t think a sequel was necessary it is fun to go past the ending that every romance book wants you to not think too hard about and to acknowledge that in real life relationships continue to grow and change. Honestly just so much to love about this book, Solomon somehow manages to pin down so many thoughts and details that are so relevant and personal to my life that I can’t help but adore the book.

I read T3 just when I started getting back into reading and I quickly fell in love with RLS and her writing. I’ve read most of her books aside from two YA although they’re on my TBR - I was excited for this continuation of Rowan and Neil's story but I also wasn’t necessarily asking for it.
Past Present Future follows Rowan and Neil as they enter their freshman year of college - one at Emerson in Boston and the other at NYU in New York City. Throughout the book, we see them not only struggle as a couple but also as individuals as being a freshman in college on a whole new coast away from everyone you know PLUS tackling school is proven to be hard for anyone.
I ended up enjoying this story but felt on edge most of the book just waiting for the breakup. I was also not actually wanting them to stay together… I think to me, the best way this book could’ve been written was ⅔ of the book showing how hard it is to be together AND individuals with this new chapter in their lives with the last ⅓ broken up and figuring out who they are without one another for the rest of college. Then an epilogue of like “5 years later” and they find each other again. I didn’t mind how it ended but and I understand WHY RLS wrote it this way but thats just my opinion. Also not for nothing but this book had WAY too many on the page spicy scenes for a YA book…

After receiving this ARC I realized that I hadn't read the first book in the series and I am no longer interested in reading this title. Thank you for the opportunity to be an early reader!

i hadn't read the first book 🫠 so there were moments where i knew i was missing some context but that's more on me than in the book. i'm planning to go back and read the first one and then make a "series" post about the books on IG. but overall it was so cute and fun. i love this author so much, while reading it all started to feel real, like these were real friends of mine going through a long distance relationship and i just got so lost in the book, like id forget i was reading it. can't wait to read the first book and then re read this one with the context of the first one!

This was so much deeper than the first book Today, Tonight, Tomorrow. I really love that you can see the growth in these characters from the first book to now, where they find themselves in college and dealing with all the challenges a long-distance relationship brings. You can also see their own self-journey, which is so important. So much depth, nuance, growth and emotion. A duology I will definitely not hesitate to recommend. An immediate addition to our collection!!!
