Bear with me on this one, it's been a little over a week since I read Today Tonight Tomorrow and it isn't entirely fresh in my mind. I'll be using notes I made shortly after I finished - as well as my own memories - to write this review.
First of all, let me just say straight off the bat that the Jewish representation in this novel is fantastic. I shouldn't have been surprised - I read Rachel Lynn Solomon's See You Yesterday before this one and the rep was similarly good there. Solomon shows us the subtle (and not-so-subtle) aspects of antisemitism that exist in society, as well as different levels of observation, which is great to see.
Aside from the Jewish rep, I felt that there was a diverse range of sexualities and ethnicities within the other characters throughout the novel, even if said characters were only mentioned by name.
I thought the main characters Neil and Rowan-
The overall feel of the novel is pacy, with lots of witty, sparkling dialogue.
I did have some minor quibbles regarding the MCs' attitudes to academia -
Overall, this was a well-written book with lots to enjoy if you like a romantic comedy with depth. (10/04/2023)
