Summary
Rowan Roth and Neil McNair are academic rivals at their Seattle high school. Everything they’ve worked for boiled down to this one day: who wins valedictorian. Rowan knows that it’s going to be her. She needs it to be her.
When Neil wins instead, Rowan is devastated. Now, she has just one more chance to beat him: Howl, the annual scavenger hunt game the senior class plays around Seattle. But after uncovering a plot to take them both out of the game early, their only chance to win is to team up. As they work together to win the competition, Rowan realizes she might have been missing out on a friend all these years. And maybe even something more.
Review: Today Tonight Tomorrow
Thanks to Simon Pulse for sending me a copy of this to review! Honestly, this is just the book I needed at the moment. Originally slated for a June release, the date is now pushed back to July due to Covid-19. That might be the perfect timing for this book, anyway! Everyone is probably going to need a pick-me-up about mid summer.
As everyone knows, I love a good enemies to lovers story. Rowan and Neil are the quintessential high school rivals. Always trying to one up the other one. The chemistry between them is right there on the first page as the two get ready for the end of high school. As the two learn more about each other through the scavenger hunt, I was dying for them to realize they’re perfect for each other. They missed out on so many good years of friendship and romance!
In addition to the romance, there are a lot of great discussions in this book as well. Rowan wants to be a romance writer, something she’s a bit ashamed of. Her parents are authors who both view the genre as frivolous. There’s a lot of good arguments about the genre within the book that made me think. Rowan and Neil are also both Jewish, something they connect strongly over. Finding each other makes them both feel a little less alone.
Adorable romance, great discussions, and an epic scavenger hunt mean that this is a book you’ll want to lookout for this summer. I guarantee you’ll fall in love with the characters the same way they fall for each other. Plus, they get to run around a pretty awesome city. What isn’t to love? Perfect for fans of Jenny Han, Jenn Bennett, and Morgan Matson.
4.5/5 stars
