We wanted to do another bookish meme on Wednesday and after doing Can’t Wait Wednesday a few times we decided that would be a fun one to bring around more often! About twice a month you’ll see this meme on our blog.
Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they’re books that have yet to be released. It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.
From the author of Today Tonight Tomorrow comes a magical romance in the vein of The Opposite of Always and Palm Springs about a teen girl forced to relive her disastrous first day of college—only to discover that her archnemesis is stuck in the time loop with her.
Barrett Bloom is hoping college will be a fresh start after her messy high school experience. But when school starts on September 21st, everything goes wrong. She can’t switch out of her Physics 101 class even after being humiliated by the awkward guy sitting next to her, and she botches her interview for the college paper. At a frat party that night, she accidentally tips over a tiki torch and sets the place on fire. She panics and flees, and when she realizes her roommate locked her out of their dorm, she falls asleep on a couch in the common room.
The next morning, Barrett’s perplexed to find herself back in her dorm room bed, no longer smelling of ashes and crushed dreams. It’s September 21st. Again. And after a confrontation with Miles, the guy from her physics class, she learns she’s not alone—he’s been trapped for months.
When her attempts to fix her timeline fail, she agrees to work with Miles to figure out what’s going on. They start skipping their classes in favor of the library and research trips that take them into the unexplored underbelly of the university and across state lines. As Barrett starts to fall for Miles, the two of them must find a way to grow and change alongside the shifting fabric of the universe. But the one question they can’t answer is what they’ll mean to each other if they finally make it to tomorrow.
I can’t believe I’m writing this post about a contemporary novel haha. But that first sentence hooked me; a teen girl forced to relive her disastrous first day of college—only to discover that her archnemesis is stuck in the time loop with her. Time loop stories are some of my favorites, it’s probably in my top 3 tropes for contemporary stories. The fact that this is also set at a college instead of high school makes it even better.
I haven’t read anything by Rachel Lynn Solomon yet but Candyce has and she loved the ones she read. That gives me high hopes for this one. I’ve seen some good early reviews so that’s good news. There are 3 more months before this one releases so I’m expecting more reviews coming closer to the release date.
Had you heard of See You Yesterday yet? If not, are you going to add it on Goodreads or on any of your lists? Let me know in the comments down below!
I have not read this author and, like you, find the book really intriguing. It’s not something I would normally go for but it sounds really good. Thanks for sharing.

I haven’t read any books by Rachel Lynn Soloman either but this one sounds good! I’ve read a few time loop books but I think this is the first where the author has another person stuck in loop as well. Interesting! I hope you enjoy it when you get your hands on it 🙂
I’m really excited for See You Yesterday! I’ve read quite a few of Rachel’s books now and she never disappoints – I’m actually reading her adult novel Weather Girl right now and I would really recommend anything by her, all of her books are great!
