Rowan and Neil have my entire heart and soul, hands down. I didn't think I could love something more than Today Tonight Tomorrow, but Past Present Future is just as special (if not more) of a book for me. The character development between the two of them is immaculate and I loved seeing them in their respective college spaces. I saw pieces of myself in each character and found myself incredibly emotional at various points in the book. I also love the Jewish representation as always, and something about the way Rachel wrote those tidbits had me feeling seen in ways I didn't expect. Also, the writing just felt relatable and comforting. I not only see myself in Rowan and Neil, but I see parts of my life in their journey and relationship and that was really special to witness. Also, the way she wrote intimacy had me reeling in the best way. It was so well done and I felt that the chemistry and closeness was unmatched. Everything was done so beautifully and I can't get enough of these characters and their love story. I loved everything about this book. Thank you to Simon and Schuster for sending me a copy to read and review!
