Quick Picks for Reluctant Readers (#QP2027) Feature Review: Love Me Tomorrow by Emiko Jean







Cynical about romance, teenage Emma makes a wish at a festival for proof that love is real, only to find herself falling for three very different boys at the same time. Complicating matters further, she begins receiving mysterious notes from someone claiming to be from her future—and they know enough of her deepest secrets for her to believe them. As Emma develops an obsession with uncovering the letter-writer’s identity, this engaging mystery unfolds alongside mild, age-appropriate content including references to sex, virginity, and underage substance use.

Intricately plotted and evenly paced, this sweet romantic comedy will effortlessly hook readers, first with its vibrant cover and then with its witty, sharp dialogue. The clever blend of contemporary romance and sci-fi mystery creates an addictive whodunit element, keeping readers desperate to catch every clue as they try to guess which of Emma’s three suspects is writing the letters.

Teenagers who enjoy a sweet  romantic comedy with a love triangle, a will-they-won’t-they trope, and a sprinkle of magic. Readers who enjoyed Jenny Han’s The Summer I Turned Pretty trilogy and Better Than the Movies by Lynn Painter will eat this up.
