Love Me Tomorrow

“Love Me Tomorrow” by Emiko Jean has a neat premise in that main character Emma Nakamura-Thatcher, a seventeen-year-old girl, is thrust into a time travel experience unique to her. Everything isn’t going so well for her, especially since her parents are divorced, her father is interested in remarrying, and she and her mother are cleaning houses to make enough money to live on. She lives with her mother, her grandfather (Jiji), and right next door to one of her best and oldest friends, Theo. When she discovers a note from someone who is claiming to be the great love of her life in the future, she doesn’t know what to make of it. Soon, though, she discovers that this person knows things about her that she’s never told anyone, ever.

Questioning whether the notes may come from future Theo, she watches him closely, trying to see what’s what in their relationship. She also gets involved with a boy named Ezra when she does a musical seminar, and she wonders if he might be the one. There is also Colin, a handsome, kind, very rich boy, but she works as a cleaning person for his family. While she tries to figure out which of these boys it might be, even though it’s possible it’s not any of them, she also has to deal with her father’s plan to remarry, and along the way she meets his girlfriend’s daughter, with whom she becomes semi-friends.

Emiko Jean has crafted an interesting, thought-provoking, relatable read about the power behind sometimes looking too deeply into things and then questioning the results of that deep dive. The book ends with a cliffhanger of sorts, leaving room for the duology to continue. It will be interesting to see where the next book takes readers!
