Past Present Future

By: Rachel Lynn Solomon

Narrated by: Ali Andre Ali, Rebekkah Ross

An instant New York Times bestseller!

They fell for each other in just twenty-four hours. Now Rowan and Neil embark on a long-distance relationship during their first year of college in this “achingly real…gorgeous” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) dual POV sequel to Today Tonight Tomorrow.

When longtime rivals Rowan Roth and Neil McNair confessed their feelings on the last day of senior year, they knew they’d only have a couple months together before they left for college. Now summer is over, and they’re determined to make their relationship work as they begin school in different places.

In Boston, Rowan is eager to be among other aspiring novelists, learning from a creative writing professor she adores. She’s just not sure why she suddenly can’t seem to find her voice.

In New York, Neil embraces the chaos of the city, clicking with a new friend group more easily than he anticipated. But when his past refuses to leave him alone, he doesn’t know how to handle his rapidly changing mental health—or how to talk about it with the girl he loves.

Over a year of late-night phone calls, weekend visits, and East Coast adventures, Rowan and Neil fall for each other again and again as they grapple with the uncertainty of their new lives. They’ve spent so many years at odds with each other—now that they’re finally on the same team, what does the future hold for them?

THAT is what I call a love story

This was a beautiful story. Real and raw. I desperately wish I had this book when I was in college. It captures the freshman year of college so wonderfully- the good, the bad, and the ugly. Seeing Rowan & Neil after their HEA of Today Tonight Tomorrow was so special. RLL is one of my faves and she can do no wrong - I said what I said.

And also the audiobook narrators were great.

Friends to Lovers

The first book in this series is enemies to lovers, but in this sequel they get the change to have a long distance friends to lovers romance that explores all the tropes of a healthy college experience and a healthy relationship. I think it captures the feeling of being in college really well. This sequel along with the original would be a great choice for someone in early adulthood.

a very beautiful love story

I really enjoyed the story. the vocabulary lessons were fantastic. it really showed relationships and mental illness in a good life.

Rowan & Neil

I fucking love them. Solomon writes the sweetest and hottest scenes between them, and as a lover of smut—it makes me squee! Their development over these two books and Neil’s mental health journey was so real and made my heart feel twice its size, repeatedly. Although I wanted to yell at both of them for their refusal to communicate.. it was worth it to see them falling in love all over again. 🥰
