What a cute story. I've enjoyed a lot of time loop romances, but this one had something special. Aleeza and Jay live in different timelines, but can text each other over the residential services app for their college dorm room. In Aleeza's timeline Jay is missing and presumed dead, so she is working to save him (under the guise of producing a true crime podcast about his disappearance for her journalism class).

I liked how the mystery played out, but I wanted a bit more explanation from the ending. I was happy to go along with the time traveling text messages, but another pivotal scene near the end felt a bit like deus ex machina, and we had to just accept it without further explanation. I still enjoyed the story, but I generally like my science fiction to at least feel well thought out.

Fans of See You Yesterday are certain to enjoy Remember Me Tomorrow. It's a quick read, since you'll want to get to the end to see what happens to Jay!

Rating edit: 4.5 stars

Okay, so in one sentence: I enjoyed it so much that I finished this full-length novel in one sitting, in straight 24 hours. 
The book is so intriguing, engrossing, mysterious, and endearing at the same time. So a journalism student, Aleeza, has a fallout with her best friend, and she moves to a different wing of the university. The room she is being allotted belonged to an engineering student, Jay, who has been missing for the last five months. But guess what? The moment Aleeza entered the room, she got a message on her university app from the missing guy, who claimed to be living in the same room. Interestingly, only those who shared the room could message each other. 

This book is a time travel novel—romance and mystery—with lots of message exchanges. I mean, everything I love in a book. And it totally lived up to my expectations. 

I loved Jay and Aleeza and their endearing conversations (through their chats, as they haven't really met). The mystery, with several twists and turns, is cleverly crafted and keeps you engrossed throughout the book. 

The writing is simple, easy and very engaging. It was a little extra special because the characters have connection with India.

The only thing that bothered me was the final scene. I was so looking forward to it, expecting it to be deeper and more beautiful, but it gets lost in various questions and explanations, which was kind of necessary, but I wish the author did it a little differently. Also, the first chapter and the epilogue are totally unnecessary. 
Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed it. One of my favourites this year. 
Thank you.

Remember Me Tomorrow has an interesting premise that's a blend of mystery, time bending Sci-Fi and teen romance with strong themes of racism, classism and harassment. It was an interesting blend of genres and topics with a coming-of-age vibe but I didn't like the execution of the story.

The Gist: Aleeza moves into her new dorm room and discovers that it was the former room of Jay Hoque, a student who went missing five months prior. Aleeza starts receiving texts from Jay when she's in the room, so she begins digging into his disappearance.

Cool premise (and Toronto setting!) but this was a very slow burn story and the addition of multiple time frames, confusing multi-universes and a large cast, muddled things up. I spent too much time trying to wrap my head around the Sci-Fi concepts - the 85% accuracy between the time frames and the time bending but finally decided to accept that I would never understand it.

My favourite part of the book was the last 20% when the pace picks up, the mystery is the focus and the pieces fall together. There is one part, very late in the story - where a supernatural ability is mentioned then dropped - that left me to wonder if there will be another book featuring this character.

This was a mystery with time-bending and a very YA feel. I know I'm not the main demographic for this book, so if you enjoy Sci-Fi with some mystery, romance and a Toronto setting, give this book a shot!

My Final Thoughts:
Liked: concept and mystery, Toronto locations
Didn't Love: Aleeza as a main character, university students who acted like they were in Grade 11
Nope: Pacing and overly complicated and unexplained Sci-Fi elements

Thank You NetGalley and Publisher for your generosity and gifting me a copy of this amazing eARC!

Remember Me Tomorrow by Farah Heron has its endearing moments, but I was frequently pulled out of the story by weak and juvenile characterization. The main character often came across more like a high school freshman than a college student, and there was an odd focus on “popular kids” and social climbing—something that felt out of place in a college setting.

The tone of the book seemed undecided, shifting between a light YA mystery and a more dramatic NA one, which left me uncertain about who the intended audience was.

One particularly frustrating element was the main character’s obsession with octopuses. By the first 10% of the book, I found myself wondering if the author was seeing how many mentions she could cram in. It honestly felt like octopuses got more attention here than in Remarkably Bright Creatures.

Despite these issues, the story had its charm and kept me turning pages to see what would happen next, but the inconsistent tone and juvenile feel ultimately made it hard to fully enjoy.

Equal parts paranormal, scifi, humor and romance makes REMEMBER ME TOMORROW a unique cross genre that was an entertaining read. I'd read many reviews on Farah Heron's books so took a chance. It's always nice when you take a chance on a book and it proves to be a good read. When Aleeza develops a texting relationship with the young man who went missing from her dorm room, it's a twisted tale as the two of them try to figure out what happened to him. Sound unique? It was.

I ADORED this book. I do have to admit that it took a chapter to get into, but once I was in, I loved it.

I loved the dynamics between the characters and Aleeza's quest for the truth. I also loved the plot twist that made sense once it happened and tied everything together.

I plan on purchasing this title for our library and will definitely read other books by this author!

I really loved this one. Great recommendation for fans of Ashley Poston. Felt very Seven Year Slip adjacent. I also really loved the main characters. Definitely a feel good read for YA readers

Thank you NetGalley & Farah Heron for this arc in exchange for an honest review

Farah Heron was able to create a wonderfully done story that I was hooked from the first page. The characters worked in the young adult novel and was what I wanted overall. I enjoyed the mysterious feel and that the characters were wonderfully done.

While time-travel stories can be maddeningly messy, that’s not the case for Remember Me Tomorrow. It’s an enchanting young adult read that will keep you guessing until the end.

Full review published on NightsAndWeekends.com and aired on Shelf Discovery.

Thank you to Netgalley and the author for granting my request to read this book and provide my honest opinions.

Yes, this book is a little bonkers. This is a very unconventional love story, and you have to really get at it to grasp the story between Jay and Aleeza.

You know I love everything time travel/parallel universe-related, and with each fiction book I read about this topic, my mind is blown away every single time.

Yes, there's more mystery elements than the rom-com because how can Aleeza be in love with Jay, who is not even in her timeline, talk about a guy who is unavailable?

I loved how put together this book was, how the mystery elements worked together; there was no point in this book that was left to assumptions; everything was explained well without being boring and overly descriptive.

Overall, I really enjoyed this story, and definitely this will not be my last Farah Heron's book.

Okay I absolutely loved this one. Murder mystery plus magical realism plus cute af romance? Every possible box was ticked for me! I will definitely be reading more from this author.

I connected with this book more than I anticipated, especially since mystery isn’t usually my genre of choice. From the very beginning, I was captivated by the two main characters. Their emotional depth and vulnerability drew me into their journey in a way I didn't expect.

The unfolding mystery surrounding the events of five months ago kept me engaged, allowing me to uncover the truth alongside them. Each revelation added layers to their relationship and personal struggles, making every page turn feel significant.

What melted my heart were the moments when they shared their thoughts and feelings. Their conversations felt authentic and heartfelt, allowing me to experience their emotional highs and lows. In those quiet exchanges, the connection between them truly came to life, making me root for them throughout their journey.

This book was a beautiful exploration of love and connection, reminding me that even in the midst of uncertainty, those bonds can profoundly impact our lives. I’m grateful I took a chance on this story; it left a lasting impression on my heart.

Absolutely loved this book. It reminded me of the seven year slip with more of a mystery and I could not put it down! Will definitely recommend

This is a very enjoyable book to read. A college student gets put in the room of a student who went missing months before. Suddenly she gets messages from the other student even though that is impossible. I enjoyed the dialogue between the characters and the slight time travel aspect. The characters compared their story to other time travel movies which I thought was clever. It is a fun, clean read.

“When things don’t go as planned, 𝙛𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙨 𝙣𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙜𝙚𝙩 𝙛𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙨.”

When Aleeza decides it’s time to ditch her college roommate, she finds herself in the most unique of situations. She’s given a tiny room in a new dorm. But the catch? The rooms prior occupant has gone missing. Yet she mysteriously begins receiving correspondence via the college’s ResConnect from none other than Jay…her missing “roommate.”

Unfortunately this one was just not for me. There is simply too much going on. You’ve got a missing student, childhood friend drama, rich kids, yacht clubs, weird college aged girls obsessed with the octopus, drug problems…it’s all just too much. Add in there a dose of magical realism and I’m honestly surprised I even finished it.

Thank you to @mbc_books, @farahheronauthor, and @amazonpublishing for the gifted copy.

First of all, I want more of Aleeza and Jay, but I also super want Jack to have his own book. He’s such an unexpected cinnamon roll.

Look, I’m not even going to try to pretend like I understand how the timey wimey nonsense was working in this, but it worked and I’m not mad at it.

The premise of this drew me in and I think it really came through. I would definitely read this again.
Also, I’m baffled as to some of the racism comments in some reviews. Yes, the book has some underlying issues with racism towards POC, but it’s not overplayed and it’s a central part of the story and the reason a lot happens. It was there to represent real issues from the POV of someone who is a POC.

⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️Random notes from my read: CAN BE CONSIDERED SPOILERY⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️




* Is Jay Chuthulu?? He is, isn’t he?
* It’s boobs
* Gracie, why so hostile?
* Jay is adorable and his flirting game is so cute. Definitely going the slow and steady route to her heart
* You can’t just drop a line like Jack and NO ONE FOLLOWS UP ON IT
* JACK. Sir. You’re so cryptic! “When I see him in the lagoon, I’ll tell him that the water lily is in his room now. He’ll be so happy to see you again.”
* I read “looked like a snack in my octopus sweater”, my immediate thought was, “so…calamari?”
* I love Jack
* 🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳🎊👏🏼🎉🙌🏻🍾
* I’m dead
* “By the way, you looked adorable in that suit. I didn’t realize I had a thing for girls in Victorian menswear, but that might be my origin story. Do you still have it?”
* I LOVE that her mom thinks she’s the reason they’re together


Many thanks to Netgalley, the publisher, and the author for providing me with an ARC and allowing me to provide my honest review

I really loved this novel where two people communicate across time through their roommate app. The mystery element kept me intrigued, and I enjoyed the slow-burn friendship and romance that developed through their chats. I was so curious to see how it would all unfold, and I think the author did a great job of tying together the magical elements by the end. Such a unique and captivating read!

“Remember Me Tomorrow” is a captivating young adult novel that intertwines elements of mystery and romance. The story follows Aleeza Kassam, a lonely university freshman who moves into East House, the oldest and least desirable dorm on campus. This dorm has a haunting past due to the mysterious disappearance of its former occupant, Jay Hoque, five months prior.

As an aspiring investigative journalist, Aleeza is drawn to the enigma surrounding Jay’s vanishing. Things take a bizarre turn when she begins receiving text messages from him—messages that are not only coming from her own dorm room but also from weeks before he disappeared. This unique twist allows Aleeza and Jay to communicate across time, leading them to work together in an attempt to prevent his inevitable disappearance.

Throughout her investigation, Aleeza delves into the lives of Jay’s friends, enemies, and exes, uncovering secrets that complicate the mystery further. As she navigates this complex web of relationships and motives, Aleeza finds herself developing feelings for Jay, despite their separation by time and circumstance.

The novel explores themes of friendship, ambition, cultural identity, and the lengths one might go to rewrite the past. It combines elements of magical realism with a gripping narrative that keeps readers engaged until the very end.

“Remember Me Tomorrow” is not just a whodunit; it’s an exploration of love and loss set against a backdrop of time travel and mystery. The book promises an emotional journey filled with suspense and heartwarming moments as Aleeza strives to solve the case while grappling with her own personal growth.

The moment I read the first few chapters of 'Remember Me Tomorrow' I could only be more intrigued to it. The way everything just fell in to place was just so mesmerizing and it kept me reading for much longer. At first I had so many questions and I kept trying to guess what had happened but I love how it all lined up perfectly in the end. I love how the main character tried her best to save the jay Hoque and how they all had their very own personal problems allowing them to be more human. This book was just so beautifully written and I love how the characters were so unique and well written in their own way. I personally recommend this book if you like the aspect of time travel, mystery, and some romance along the way!
