I really loved this new novel from Farah Heron whose books I have loved in the past. The audiobook kept me company through many hours of Halloween costume making this year so I'll probably always remember it for that reason (no pun intended) haha.

This book would appeal to fans of Truly Devious or A Good Girl's Guide to Murder or Veronica Mars. It's set in Toronto which is fun for us Canadians and it is well-paced, interesting, cute, and the ending was great. It doesn't quite have time travel, but there is a magical realism element that makes it so fun and the new adult age group of the characters allows for a lot of finding oneself and character growth. There are references to The Lake House in the book and that would be a similar level of magical realism if you enjoyed that Keanu Reeves movie.

So enjoyed my time with this story & definitely recommend it!

Love! Love! Love this storyline. I don't even know how to write a review without spoiling the book! I'll just say, I highly recommend this book.
The audiobook narrator did a phenomenal job. Her male voice was everything, and I enjoyed it a lot.

Thank you, Netgellay, and Brilliance Publishing for the auidobook in exchange for my honest review.

A fantastic YA timeloop story that has two Desi Canadian college teens trying to solve the disappearance and supposed murder of one of them. Great on audio narrated by Soneela Nonkali and perfect for fans of Rachel Lynn Solomon or Lynn Painter. This was a very entertaining and compelling read/listen and possibly my new fav YA book by Canadian author Farah Heron!! Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early digital and audio copy in exchange for my honest review!

The narration was fantastic, bringing the characters and story to life in a way that truly enhanced the experience. The narrator's voice was engaging, with a perfect pacing that kept me captivated from start to finish. I found myself listening during my commute and while doing chores, completely absorbed in the story.

The production quality was excellent, with clear sound and no distractions. The way the narrator infused emotion into the dialogue allowed me to connect with the characters on a deeper level. Each character had a distinct voice, making it easy to follow along and stay engaged.

The plot itself was compelling and kept me hooked throughout. Even though a few twists didn’t resonate with me as much, they still added an element of surprise that maintained the excitement. I appreciated how the narration allowed me to experience the story in a fresh way, and I often found myself replaying certain sections to catch details I might have missed.

This was a highly enjoyable listening experience, blending a captivating story with a talented narrator. The combination made for an immersive journey, and I can see myself revisiting this audiobook in the future. It was both entertaining and thought-provoking, making it a memorable experience overall.

Remember Me Tomorrow
Farah Heron
Available now

📖 Remember Me Tomorrow follows Aleeza, a quirky, octopus-loving college freshman who has a falling out with her long-time best friend and roommate. After being reassigned to a new room, Aleeza starts receiving texts on the dorm messaging system from her new roommate... the only problem is, Aleeza doesn't have a roommate, and Jay, the guy texting her, is missing, and is texting her from the past! With the help of some new friends, Aleeza is determined to solve the mystery of Jay's disappearance before it's too late!

💭 Remember Me Tomorrow is an angsty, well-paced, young adult mystery with magic, romance, and "The Lake House" vibes. While there's a mystery at the center, it's also about friendship and family, Brown kids and white kids, the haves and the have-nots, and a magical connection that transcends time and space. While things became a tad predictable toward the end, I appreciate the high-stakes mystery, the diverse cast of characters, and the swoony, magical love story. There's also some great commentary on friendship and being true to oneself that I think will really resonate with young adult readers. All in all, a well-rounded story that I enjoyed spending time with. 🩷

🎧 I read this in all the ways - alternating between my ebook, paperback and audiobook. I enjoyed all three formats equally. The audiobook narrator, Soneela Nankani, was a great choice here! She has a youthful quality to her voice that vibes with the story, its characters, and its intended audience.

📌 Available now!

🩷 Available on Kindle Unlimited as an ebook & audiobook

I am usually not drawn to time travel stories. This storyline intrigued me and I really enjoyed it. Great story of friendship, privilege, romance and mystery.

Thank you so much to Brilliance Publishing/Audio and NetGalley for the advance listener copy of Remember Me Tomorrow by Farah Heron!

Aleeza is a journalism student, who at the beginning of the book moves into a new dorm room on campus. She ends up moving into the dorm room of a missing student, Jay Hogue, who vanished months ago and the disappearance remains unsolved. The school has an app that allows roommates who share the same dorm to chat back and forth with each other. One day, Aleeza receives a message from none other than Jay. The two soon realize that they are able to communicate with each other but the Jay on the other end of the chat is Jay from several months ago, before he went missing. The two get to know each other and soon begin working together to solve the mystery of his disappearance.

This book was SO GOOD!!! I loved both the romance between Aleeza and Jay as well as the mystery they work to solve throughout the book. The mystery will continue to keep you guessing until the very end which is what I usually look for. As the romance builds, you will simply love Aleeza and Jay they are so incredibly sweet. Also, Jay has seen The Lake House (IYKYK) and I love him for it! Time travel is also a trope that I simply can’t resist and it was used so well in the crafting of this story.

Lastly, as I received an ALC of this book, I will give all the praise to Soneela Nankani who once again delivers an incredible audiobook narration!!

I enjoyed this unique story and the science fiction feel of the time travel aspect. I liked trying to figure out how events happening now could be changed in the timeline five months ago. The romance was so sweet and I had to know if Jay was still alive and if so, did he and Aleeza find their way to each other? I listened to the audiobook and the narration really brought these characters and the story to life.

What a cute story. I've enjoyed a lot of time loop romances, but this one had something special. Aleeza and Jay live in different timelines, but can text each other over the residential services app for their college dorm room. In Aleeza's timeline Jay is missing and presumed dead, so she is working to save him (under the guise of producing a true crime podcast about his disappearance for her journalism class).

I liked how the mystery played out, but I wanted a bit more explanation from the ending. I was happy to go along with the time traveling text messages, but another pivotal scene near the end felt a bit like deus ex machina, and we had to just accept it without further explanation. I still enjoyed the story, but I generally like my science fiction to at least feel well thought out.

Fans of See You Yesterday are certain to enjoy Remember Me Tomorrow. It's a quick read, since you'll want to get to the end to see what happens to Jay!

I will say that these characters felt a bit younger than college-age. I was definitely in the "weird kid" category in high school and younger, but as soon as I went to college I was able to find my people, and cliques and popular rich kids didn't matter anymore. I think it would have been a bit better suited to a boarding school setting: all the same aspects apply, but Aleeza would have felt her age. She read as a 15 or 16 year old rather than a college freshman. Her "poor me" attitude was a bit whiny at times.

I switch to the audiobook halfway through, and Aleeza felt a bit more mature through the voice of the narrator, so maybe it was just how I interpreted her tone! I enjoyed the audiobook production and wish I listened this way from the start!
