Description

A boy is trapped in a time loop—and in a girl’s body—in this heartfelt and wryly humorous love story.

Laurie wakes up in a girl’s body with no memories, driving down an unknown highway, and promptly crashes the car. Thankfully, a handsome stranger named Gideon comes to his rescue. It’s awkward for Laurie to pretend that he’s a girl, but at least this is the scariest thing he’ll ever have to deal with.

Except the next morning—and every morning after—Laurie wakes up barreling down that same highway. He re-meets Gideon every day, with no idea who this girl whose body he’s inhabiting even is. Only one thing is clear: he’s on a countdown. Laurie has been given only one hundred days to get back in the right body, break the time loop, and not fall for Gideon while he does it.

Maybe Tomorrow I’ll Know is a funny, deeply felt exploration of love, identity, and what it means to move through the world in a body that is truly yours.

About the Author: Alex Ritany is a lifelong reader and writer who is currently a bookseller at Indigo. They live in Calgary, Canada, with their roommate, cat, and dice collection.

Just wow. I read the description of this book, and I couldn’t wait to read it. I didn’t expect the raw emotions this book would bring out in me. I’ve always been a LGBTQ+ person that respects everyone, no matter what. This book brought out all of the feelings and complete respect. If this book doesn’t sometimes hurt your heart, make you question things, or make you just a little bit more of an understanding human, I would be shocked. Thank you for opening my eyes even more. I loved this entire book.

Wow. I'm so thankful I had the chance to read MAYBE TOMORROW I'LL KNOW. Alex Ritany's voice is so strong and accessible, and I was immediately pulled into the mystery: why is Laurie speeding down an unfamiliar highway? And what happens at the end of the time loop?

I loved getting to know the characters. They felt alive to me, and it was so easy to root for them. I also really appreciated the nuance Ritany brings into the interactions between different family members. Relationships are rarely one thing, and I liked seeing that complexity on the page.

By nature, time loops are repetitive (that's kind of the point, right?), but the story kept me invested in the characters and turning pages. Ritany left a few unanswered questions I'm still wondering about, but at the end of the day, those details weren't necessary to the story, and I don't mind letting my imagination fill in the gaps.

All around, I really enjoyed this captivating, hopeful story and highly recommend it.
