I've wanted to read a Kosoko Jackson book for quite a while, and upon seeing the cover of his 2021 release "Yesterday is History" and reading the synopsis, I immediately put in a request for the book on NetGalley, and I was absolutely thrilled to be approved for an e-ARC copy of the book from SourceBooksFire, in exchange for an honest review.

"Yesterday is History" tells the story of Andre Cobb, a teenage cancer patient who receives a liver transplant, and with it, the unexpected gift of being able to travel back in time.

Without warning, Andre finds himself transported from 2021 back to 1969, where he meets Michael, who lives in the same house as Andre lives in the future, and the two of them begin to bond. But, as quickly as he arrived, Andre returns to the present where Blake, the brother of Andre's donor, has been assigned to teach him how to use his new gift.

Eventually, Andre finds himself torn between the past and the present, between Michael and Blake, and it's up to him to figure out where he belongs and who he wants to be.

This book was absolutely brilliant, and beautiful! The story is unlike anything I've ever read before, and it pulled me in almost instantly. It was very compulsively readable, and I grew to love Andre and his relationships with both Michael and Blake. The last 5-10 percent of the book in particular was incredibly emotional, and at the end, I was bawling my eyes out.

Kosoko Jackson's writing was easy and approachable, and he was able to alternate between the two timelines of the novel very effectively! I expected to enjoy this book, but having finished it, I can say that it exceeded any possible expectations I had. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK and I definitely recommend it!

"Yesterday is History" is scheduled for publication on February 2, 2021 from SourceBooksFire and if the idea of a contemporary sci-fi book with LGBTQ+ themes appeals as much to you as it did to me, you will definitely want to add this to your shelf!

Special thanks to Kosoko Jackson, SourceBooksFire and NetGalley for allowing me to read this book early!

This book was so immersive! A tale of second chances and being desirable from the inside, out. When Andre is thrown into two different worlds and two different boys, one past , one present. Andre has to figure out who he wants to be and who he wants to be with.
