Every thirty years, the small farm town of Aurora is washed in light from Harmony’s Comet. Local legends claim strange things happen when it appears in the sky: People disappear. Some say they slip through time.
The comet is due back this summer, but grieving Everly wants nothing to do with this reminder of her late mother. Then she meets the perfect distraction: fiery-haired and playful Sam, who’s obsessed with nineties music and actual cameras. She puts Everly instantly at ease, but vanishes just as suddenly as she appeared.
When Everly accidentally slips thirty years into the past, she finds herself in 1998, where the Backstreet Boys and dial-up internet reign and no one’s ever heard of a smartphone. There, she finds Sam again— and comes face-to-face with the unimaginable: her teenage mom.
Determined to understand this rip in time, Everly begins digging into the comet’s link to local disappearances with the help of her mom and Sam. Because she has to find a way home...right?
But soon, Everly exposes dark secrets. Time may be malleable, but not every change is for the better. If Everly isn’t careful, she’ll risk an altered future— one without her mother or the girl she’s falling for.

This book struck me to my core. This book wrapped me up in the most warm and welcome way possible.In so many ways, it feels like a love letter to queer communities both past and present.But overall, this was a truly wonderful book and one I already know will become another all-time favourite.

.A comet which appears every 30 years, mysterious disappearances coinciding with Harmony's visibility in the sky, time travel, some romance, and a hint of danger. Yes, please!
Just from reading the blurb for 'We Were Supposed to Find This' I expected to enjoy this YA novel. What I didn't expect was a compelling page turner with layers of mystery, intricately woven plotlines reaching backwards and forwards in time, a cat and mouse thriller-style who-done-it, and an abundance of plot twists. The romance between Everly and Sam was a bonus.
While many of the plot twists I'd seen coming, there was one towards the end that did catch me by surprise. No spoilers, but the logistics of the way it played out have kept me thinking about the nature of time travel itself and concurrent timelines in particular. I really love a novel that keeps me pondering long after the final page is read and 'We Were Supposed to Find This' has definitely accomplished that.
With perfect pacing the writing flows consistently throughout and each chapter serves to move the plot forward without any lags. The writing itself conveys a wealth of emotions through dialog and scene descriptions with a balanced style between Showing and Telling the reader what's going on. I loved how well written was and how thoroughly engrossed I was in finding out what comes next.
This book that kept me reading 'Just one more chapter' long into the early hours of morning. Unputdownable!
I highly recommend this to those who love a multi-faceted storline with elements of mystery, danger, sci-fi time travel and a dose of thriller vibes. All wrapped up in a beautiful sapphic romance for the ages.
Thanks to the SMP Early Readers Program, Wednesday Books & NetGalley for the arc read.
