Aleeza is in her second term of her first year at university, and the best friend she has had since age seven has turned out to be less of a friend than Aleeza initially thought. So, Aleeza is given the opportunity to move across campus to a single room on her own in order to extricate herself from her uncomfortable living situation. Upon arriving in her new dorm, however, Aleeza quickly discovers that it was the last known location of a student who has been missing for several months, and Aleeza somehow has a link to him through their shared roommate app. Though strange and unexpected, Aleeza decides to put her sleuthing skills to the test in an effort to rescue her new acquaintance from an unpredictable fate.

This unusual story reads quickly and is intriguing in its delivery. Most of the narrative appears in the first person from Aleeza’s perspective, but Jay, the missing student, is able to communicate with Aleeza through text messages, as well. What begins as a story of a student who is having to rediscover friendship at a time when she least expects to be doing so quickly evolves into a mission to rescue what feels like a ghost before it is too late. A host of additional characters find their way into the story, and readers will be cheering for Aleeza as she begins learning how to stand up for herself and what is most important to her.

Fans of time travel, science fiction, and contemporary journalistic storytelling will enjoy the design and delivery of this book. While it requires a suspension of disbelief initially, the remainder of the narrative is worth the separation from reality. As pieces begin coming together for Aleeza, readers are able to make their own determinations of what might have happened to Jay. And as the stakes get higher for Jay, they begin increasing for Aleeza as well. Occasional strong language, discussion of sex and trauma, and reflections on racism are found within the text, and all are addressed through a tasteful and accessible lens. Suspenseful, intriguing, and fast-paced, this book is one that mature young adults and older readers are sure to appreciate.

This was a very fast, very fun read. I also found it quite compelling as I just couldn’t put it down, and the few times I did, I kept thinking about it. I wanted to know what had happened to Jay just as much as his friends did.

The story is told through Aleeza’s point of view only and I just adored her. I saw a lot of myself in her at that age, and I’m sure lots of teens and YA will see themselves too. She starts off alone and unsure of herself, but as the mystery and her relationship with Jay and the other people she meets becomes stronger, she does to. I just loved that about her, how she was able to come out from a bad friendship and still take a chance on the new people she meets. I also adored her obsession with cephalopods, what a fun character quirk.

Although we don’t get Jay’s point of view of the story, I felt that we really got to know him through his conversations with Aleeza. He is a really sweet guy, who admits he is not into commitment, which may have got him in trouble a bit, but from his point of view sounds like he managed that ok. His true friends do rally to help him and Aleeza when it is needed which shows to me what a really great guy he his despite his reputation.

The mystery of what happened to Jay and the use of the parallel universes was well done. I liked how they communicated through texts that only they could see and only when they were both in the dorm room. Aleeza’s ability to connect with Jay in the past certainly helped with finding out what happened to him. There were some great twists and turns and even a couple that I didn’t see coming and it was a great puzzle to finally put all the pieces into. I was a little bit nervous about the ending for awhile, but it all turns out ok.

I liked the author’s writing style, it was very down to earth and felt perfectly at ease with the characters and their lives. I felt totally immersed in the setting of a college campus and how cold Toronto is in the early Spring. I also loved all of the references to old time travel movies. One in particular which was very similar to this story, which they made some fun of. I only had one small complaint and that had to do with another missing person who had disappeared under similar circumstances as Jay, but 100 years before. I just kept expecting there would be some connection between the two disappearances, but there never was. It just felt weird that it was mentioned as often as it was.

Overall a great YA mystery romance. I highly recommend if you are into this genre, especially if you like the parallel universe angle. This YA has a lot going for it, and the characters are very lovable. I will definitely be picking up other books by this author in the future.

Remember Me Tomorrow by Farah Heron is a romance with lots of mystery. The story follows Aleeza, an investigative student. She moves into a dorm room that happens to be a room belonging to a student who has been missing for months. She soon realizes something is not right when she starts to receive messages from this missing student.

This was such a beautifully written story. It was definitely a page turner for me. The timeline approach was super unique and fun. The story flowed so well, and I could not wait to read what the ending was like. It had so many secrets and twists. It felt like a whodunit type of read.

The fmc was definitely one of those that you couldn't help rooting for. You wanted her to just have a win. It had the "suspicious rich kids" energy, doing what they wanted. New friendships and friend breakups. And the most beautiful love story! I highly recommend this one!
