Description
Prequel to the New York Times bestselling novel, Forget Tomorrow.
In a world where all seventeen-year-olds receive a memory from their future selves, Logan Russell's vision is exactly as he expects—and exactly not. He sees himself achieving his greatest wish of becoming a gold-star swimmer, but strangely enough, the vision also shows him locking eyes with a girl from his past, Callie Stone, and experiencing an overwhelming sense of love and belonging.
Logan’s not sure what the memory means, but soon enough, he learns that his old friend Callie is in trouble. She’s received an atypical memory, one where she commits a crime in the future. According to the law, she must be imprisoned, even though she's done nothing wrong. Now, Logan must decide if he'll give up his future as a gold-star swimmer and rescue the literal girl of his dreams. All he'll have to do is defy Fate.
The Forget Tomorrow series is best enjoyed in order.

Praise for Forget Tomorrow:
"This gripping read is sure to have you on the edge of your seat." -Farrah Penn, BuzzFeed.com
"Debut YA author Pintip Dunn's Forget Tomorrow delivers a page-turner full of adventure and danger. The story's creative premise - receiving your future memory at 17 years old - provides enough what ifs to amp up the action in each chapter with the suspenseful race-against-time theme." -Michelle Monkou, USA Today
"Forget Tomorrow was a gorgeous, refreshing story that has restored my faith in dystopian. Filled with action, adventure, romance, amazing characters and a heartfelt storyline that you can connect with. ...[A]t the beginning you are thrown into this world, there's no unnecessary build up, you're hooked from the very beginning with this unpredictable plot and then left shocked and surprised by the clever cliffhanger ending. It's safe to say, I loved this book- Forget Tomorrow is a magnificent debut and I can't wait to see was Dunn does next." -Cody, Literary-ly Obsessed
"There's a whirlwind of plot in this novel [...] There's also an abundance of mystery [.] A YA adventure with ethereal prose and appealing characters." -Kirkus Reviews
"With a cliffhanger ending that somehow still packs a powerful punch of hope, Forget Tomorrow is a top pick for readers who love action and themes around fate and the future." -YA Books Central
Praise for Remember Yesterday:
5 stars: "Remember Yesterday is freaking amazing. I really enjoyed Forget Tomorrow, and this second installment of the trilogy is even better––fascinating, twisting plot, a swoon-worthy romance and so many new questions! Anyone wondering what happens with Callie and Logan, don't worry––you find out and then some, as the plot deepens. It's hard to discuss anything about this book without spoilers, so I'll just say, prepare to be surprised from beginning to end!" –Meg Kassel, author of Black Bird of the Gallows
5 stars: "Dunn is such a wonderful storyteller. The scenes and characters she writes are vivid and full of depth. You should totally mark this as must read this year!" –Brenda Drake, author of Thief of Lies, Guardian of Secrets and Touching Fate
5 stars: "Overall, this is a perfect sequel to Forget Tomorrow, if not even better. Dunn brings her A-game, and her characters are still the strongest feature of the text. Still a fun read. I loved it." –Hristina Petrov, I'll Be Fine Alone Reads
5 stars: "I really really enjoyed this book! It kept me on my toes an by the time I got to the end I was shocked!" –Shawna Cramer, Sea Shells and Puppy Tails
5 stars: "Remember Yesterday is so good! I was hooked to the pages. It was a thrilling ride that I didn't want to end. Pintip Dunn has created an amazing world building it with multidimensional characters. I love the action, the suspense and the romance in this novel. It had everything I want in a fantasy world. [...] I need the next book ASAP." –Sheyla Hopkins, Mrs. Leif's Two Fangs About It
5 stars: "I really liked this, even better than the first book. While book one ended on a surprising note, book two has even more twists and surprises. The series is classed as dystopian and, while it has many of the traits of all the many dystopians I've read, it also has sci-fi elements. I didn't really feel like that aspect fit as well into the first book, but the second book helped me to better accept it. I'm excited to see where the third book takes us!" –Kristy Petree, Goodreads Reviewer
5 stars: "While I vastly enjoyed Callie’s story, I think I almost found Jessa’s story a little more enjoyable/ informative. I learned a lot more about Callie’s story through Jessa’s story, 10 years later. It amazes me how strong and smart both girls are, but they are different in one simple way...they each think the other will better serve the future than the other. This surprised me in ways I didn’t think possible. They are both very giving, loving, courageous, and smart, but it’s their love for each other that makes that strength shine so true in both of their stories. I simply can’t WAIT to see what happens when their stories really collide in the next book!" –Janelle Childers, Book By Night, Mommy By Day
4 stars: "THE FEEELLSSSSS! When you know what happens in the first book, some thoughts of the characters or what they say to each other, just makes you gasp in a wave of emotions that are either so super sweet or heartbreaking. Dunn really knows how to make people’s thoughts feel genuine." –Caroline, Just Another Bookish Blog
4 stars: "I loved how she wrote it and the way she executed her plot so I am giving it two thumbs up and 4/5 stars." –Elena, The Queen Reads
4 stars: "One of the things I loved about this book and the previous one was the super adorable romance. I'm totally a sucker for the whole we pretend to hate each other romance. And boy is there tons of that here. The sharp come backs, the swoony kisses...ahhh!!!! My heart just exploded with happiness. Seriously! [...] I can't believe I hadn't heard of the series until last month. I was really missing out. The series deserves a lot more hype than it has received. Remember Yesterday was the perfect sequel. You really need to read these books ASAP!" –Jacquie Atamanuk, Rattle the Stars

Featured Reviews
Loved this novella. Logan is adorable and reading his perspective for the entire series would be fine with me. Being able to see the hallucination scene from his perspective was my dream and it was just as hilarious as it was from Callies point of view.
I was given the opportunity to read Before Tomorrow via Entangled Publishing and NetGalley. This is my honest opinion of the book.
Logan Russell just turned 17, which means that he has no choice but to receive his future memory. He wanted to refuse, but he could not jeopardize his brother's safety and put a target on all of their backs. Being a gold star swimmer has been his future aspiration, but until he received his future memory, Logan had no idea that his future intertwined with Calla Ann Stone. Will Logan be able to set right what he did five years ago?
Before Tomorrow takes place in the months before the first book, putting together some of the missing pieces. There are a couple of revelations that help to flesh out the overall story, which gives the reader a more complete look at Logan. Well written with great characterization, Before Tomorrow is a must read to complete the series thus far.
4 stars!
I knew it! Ahh, Logan's novella was everything I hoped for and more. Every since I read Forget Tomorrow all I wanted was a glimpse inside Logan's mind and his memory and it was so beautiful, I just love the idea of this series that you receive a memory for your future self, it's so original and so well executed, amazing!
Before Tomorrow is a prequel/alternate narration of Forget Tomorrow and focuses on one of my favourite characters, Logan. It's hard not to fall head over heels for Logan in the series and in this story I just fell in love with him even more. I didn't think that was even possible! It tells us about the day he received his own future memory and the events that led to him reuniting with Callie, his love interest and the main protagonist of Forget Tomorrow. It was interesting to step inside his head and it also provided the reader with more insight into why he was willing to drop everything to help Callie reach safety.
The only thing I can complain about is the length. I wanted more! It was far too short, but then again that's the problem I have without most novellas. You just get into the action and boom! It's all over.
It's really difficult to write about this story without giving too much of the series away. So, without spoiling anything, I just want to say that it was an enjoyable read and a wonderful addition to the Forget Tomorrow series.
