Today Tonight Tomorrow
Rachel Lynn Solomon's Today Tonight Tomorrow, published in 2020, is a sparkling, ferociously smart YA romance set across the final twenty-four hours of senior year. Rowan Roth has spent four years at her competitive Seattle high school locked in academic warfare with Neil McNair, the equally driven, infuriating boy she has been determined to beat in everything from chemistry tests to election results since freshman year. He has won a few rounds. She has won a few. As they line up to graduate, neither has decisively won the war. So when their school's annual senior tradition kicks off, an all-night citywide Howl scavenger hunt with a generous cash prize, Rowan and Neil agree to team up to take down the rest of the field, splitting the winnings down the middle. What unspools across one Seattle night, from Pike Place Market to a Pacific Science Center under cover of dark, is the slow, exhilarating realization that the rival she thought she knew has been someone else entirely. Solomon, whose own Jewish identity informs both leads, weaves first love, ambitions, family expectations, and the bittersweet end of high school into a romance that respects how big small choices feel at eighteen.
