Today Tonight Tomorrow by Rachel Lynn Solomon

Compared to bestselling novel The Hating Game and hit film Booksmart, Rachel Lynn Solomon’s summer release, Today Tonight Tomorrowhas a lot to live up to. Thankfully, it’s hard to go wrong with a hate-to-love romance between rivals — and that’s exactly what Solomon is giving us this time around.

Today Tonight Tomorrow follows Rowan Roth and Neil McNair, two high school seniors who can only be described as overachievers. And the two have competed with one another in just about everything for the past four years. But with high school coming to an end — and the two forced to team up to take on another high school — they’re forced to see each other beyond their rivalry. According to the synopsis:

"“When Neil is named valedictorian, Rowan has only one chance at victory: Howl, a senior class game that takes them all over Seattle, a farewell tour of the city she loves. But after learning a group of seniors is out to get them, she and Neil reluctantly decide to team up until they’re the last players left—and then they’ll destroy each other.”"

As you might expect, however, the desire to “destroy each other” quickly turns to something else entirely. And if you’re a fan of enemies to lovers, you’ll want to dive right into Rowan and Neil’s story. Today Tonight Tomorrow will be available in print, ebook, and audiobook format on July 28.
