With her celebrated humor, insight, and heart, beloved New York Times bestseller Emma Straub offers her own twist on traditional time travel tropes and a different kind of love story. On the eve of her fortieth birthday, Alices life isnt terrible. She likes her job, even if it isnt exactly the one she expected. Shes happy with her apartment, her romantic status, and her independence, and she adores her lifelong best friend. But her father is ailing, and it feels to her as if something is missing. When she wakes up the next morning, she finds herself back in 1996, reliving her sixteenth birthday. But it isnt just her adolescent body that shocks her, or seeing her high school crush—its her dad, the vital, charming, forty-something version of her father with whom she is reunited. Now armed with a new perspective on her own life and his, some past events take on new meaning. Is there anything that she would change if she could?

Review Praise for This Time Tomorrow:"What if you could go back in time to be with your elderly dying parent when they were young and healthy?

How do we talk with each other about things that really matter?. . .Straub is wise enough to know that despite having ample time, its never enough." —Boston Globe"Even if the premise of This Time Tomorrow is a flight from realism, the scope of Alices concerns is human-scale and plausible. . .although her travels through time allow her to reconsider her romantic history, the person whose past she is most eager to set right is her father, a man whose imminent mortality deepens the novels ambient nostalgia into something pressing and poignant."—The New York Times"If you could be 16 again, would you?
