This Time Tomorrow by Emma Straub

Our December #IWBookClub pick is “This Time Tomorrow” by Emma Straub.

Described as ‘literary sunshine’, this clever and nostalgic novel finds Alice on the eve of her 40th birthday, wondering when she’ll have it all figured out and thinking of the time lost with her ailing father, Leonard. The next morning, she wakes up outside her old apartment in 1996, reliving her 16th birthday, with a younger Leonard. With a new perspective on her own life and the chance to get time back with her father, Alice has to decide: is there anything she would change if she could?
