This is the second book in a duology and you definitely need to read the first book to understand Rowan and Neil’s relationship and all of the background information.

The story picks up at the end of the summer, right as Rowan and Neil are getting ready to head to their respective colleges, about 3 months after the end of book 1.

Rowan is at Emerson in Boston to study creative writing. But she can’t write and is completely stuck in her own head, worried that she’ll never be able to write anything good. She also never sees her roommate, misses Neil and her friends, and feels overwhelmed.

Neil is studying Linguistics at NYU. He gets along well with his roommate, slowly finds a core friend group, discovers he might want to change his major, misses Rowan and his mom and sister, and finds himself spiraling.

There are a lot of hits and misses when Rowan and Neil are able to visit and talk on the phone. Both are keeping some of their concerns from the other, which causes them to feel guilty. The normal freshman year, far from home jitters are there for both of them, as is the miscommunications and fears of a long distance relationship. I love how each of these topics was covered and that the author wasn’t afraid to explore Neil’s mental health issues.

I loved both roommates. Even though Rowan’s was MIA much of the time, she was there when it mattered. And Neil’s roommate was perfect, I’m not sure he would have made it through without Skyler.

I was pleased with the ending and how everything was resolved.

Disclaimer: I received an eARC for review consideration though NetGalley, on behalf of the publisher. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I read this book after absolutely loving the first book in the "series". However, I think this was probably the most unnecessary follow-up book of all time. There's this trend now for YA books to get sequels that follow the MC's after a breakup and showing how they come back together. But this book just felt like it lost all the beautiful parts of the first book. I did like the mental health representation, but that's just about the only thing.

I enjoy the follow up to the first book and especially like that it is a duology. I will continue to select reached Lynn Solomon titles.

Past Present Future is a sequel to Today Tonight Tomorrow and is New Adult and not YA. Rowan and Neil are navigating a long-distance relationship as well as being away from home as first-year college students. I love watching Rowan and Neil grow not only as individuals but in their relationship. This book is much heavier than book one which feels true to life as they have graduated high school and have different responsibilities as young adults navigating the world.

I highly recommend this book!

Loved getting to get back in touch with these characters after a nice little break! Rowan and Neil had such a precious story in the first book, so continuing their story as they moved on to college was lovely. I liked the realistic portrayal of these teens in love trying to find a way to stay connected to each other across so many miles. I've lived that life and related to the story personally. There were highs, lows, and so many sweet moments, and it was just a treat to read!

It was so lovely to be back in this universe and follow the characters along their journey as they're grown up and face the difficulties of being away at uni.

I love RLS books. This sequel wasn’t as good as the first one. I felt like the story didn’t need to be told.

Thank you so much to Simon & Schuster for the eARC, and to my local library for the audio listen! These are my honest thoughts.

I loved this story. RLS was able to remind me why I fell in love with reading, and more specifically, the magic of YA romance. I adored this story of high school senior rivals, and the short timespan of this story capturing their last day of high school, their senior class activity, and the romance that's been quietly brewing between the two of them for all of high school. Their academic rivals, and their relationship ends up being so much more than Rowan initially thought. Neil, on the other hand, knows exactly what's in front of him with Rowan, but he's a nerdy guy and his home life isn't perfect. These two go from frenemies to friends to something so much more, and it just reminded me so much of my own high school crushes turned more. There was energy between these two, and the care that went into hating each other transformed so quickly in this book, but the tension leading up to it (off page) was ELECTRIC.

I also adored that this book took place all over Seattle, the Jewish rep, and diverse cast of friends, how nerdy everyone is, the parents/siblings, etc. It was just... really solid.

LOVEEEEE this book and I read this so fast and devoured it uppppp!!! This book has heartfelt vibes of life and young adult romance. 4.5 stars!!!!

A beautifully crafted story about love, fate, and second chances. Solomon’s writing is tender, poignant, and brimming with heart.

Thank you to NetGalley and Simon and Schuster publishing for this E-ARC.

If I am honest I really only care about Skylar!! He is such a loving character and I need a book about him please. Don’t get me wrong. Rowan and Neil are cute also. But Skylar is the book. A big goofball that wants to take classes about oranges? But he ends up being the sweetest, most thoughtful best friend? I love it.

This is the second book about Rowan and Neil. It follows them after their summer of dating when they go off to college. In separate states. After only dating for 3 months. What could go wrong. They are absolutely adorable together. It brings up family troubles, troubles in school during your first year. The beginnings of new friendships. It’s a beautiful story about two people who are in love and how they navigate their first year of college. A great read.

This book was everything I wanted it to be. I love Today Tonight Tomorrow and had absolutely no idea it was getting a sequel until this one popped up, nand it was a worthy follow up to such a lovely book.

I can’t possibly write a review right now but UGH my little heart broke so much during this one. these characters own my heart!! I loved seeing them in a completely new setting. I usually don't enjoy sequels because I don't want my characters to go through MORE conflict, but this one just took me back to my college days and I related so much to both of these characters.

It felt like a breath of fresh air ro read about Rowan and Neil again. I read T3 back in 2022 and I fell in love with them at first sight. The serious undertone of this book made it seem more real given the fact that R & N are in college now and have adult problems to deal with and despite that, the book was incredibly romantic, you can feel how much they love each other and that's what makes me love these two.

This was such a good follow up to today tonight tomorrow.

I laughed, I cried, I swooned. Rowan and Neil are the ultimate book couple and I love that we got an HEA for their story.

Thank you to publisher for the eARC in exchange for a review.

This book is every bit witty and swoon-worthy as the previous installment. Solomon writes characters that feel so real and relatable, that you can't help but root for and grapples with the question, 'what happens after the happily ever after?' Watching Rowan and Neil navigate new adulthood and freedom, mental health, and the pressures of college squeezed my heart and held my hand in equal measure and I loved the dual point of view. Today, Tonight, Tomorrow is a go-to recommendation when someone is looking for a sharp and un-put-down-able teen romance, and I can't wait to share the sequel with friends and library patrons alike.

I love Rowan and Neil! I've loved them since the first book, and it was so great to see them again. Rachel is such a great writer, and I loved how she continued their story and dynamic. When I first heard of this sequel, I was wary, but I loved how it turned out. If you're a fan of the first book, then I would recommend it.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Sequels always make me a little nervous, but with this one I had no reason to be! It was a great story and I loved the revisiting of these two characters. Rachel Lynn Solomon did a wonderful job and my students will be pulling this off my shelf at school.

I'm probably in the minority, but I don't think we needed this story. It felt dragged out to me and I wasn't as invested in Neil and Rowan as in TTT. :(

Today Tonight Tomorrow is one of my favorite books, and this sequel is just as romantic and swoon-worthy.

Past Present Future takes us inside the growing relationship between Rowan and Neil through a dual POV book. They’ve spent their entire academic lives together, but they’ve only been romantically together for one summer before they both go to their different colleges. As they learn about themselves apart, they also have to learn how to make their relationship work together.

I absolutely loved this book from top to bottom. I laughed, I cried, I hugged the book to my chest. This is such a good look at what a freshman year of college looks like, that you can plan out how you want your life to look, but life will almost always have other plans.

Getting Neil’s POV in this was just amazing. Prior to this, we only had the little extra bonus short story from Solomon, but now? Getting into the head of this boy who’s been in love with Rowan Roth for most of his life? It’s more than I can handle. And this is to say nothing of how real Rowan’s chapters are. You feel for her, feel for what she’s going through, and you love her that much more.

I love these books and these characters so much. I could read their entire lives.
