While I’m enjoying parts of it, the writing leans heavily into clichés and can feel a bit cringe at times. That said, it may just be because the book is geared toward a younger, teen audience. We’ll see how it develops.

The sequel keeps the same immersive vibe as the first, using visuals and design to pull you in. This time we get dual perspectives from Rowan and Neil, which is fun and adds depth. Some chapters feel a little cringe and the pacing drags, but it’s still sweet and charming. I’m not sure where the climax is headed, but it’s a cute, easy read overall.

I love the structure, instead of chapters, the story unfolds by time, which feels fresh and immersive. The main character can be frustrating in her obvious denial about liking the boy, but it’s also kind of sweet. I loved the unexpected details like notes, receipts, and flyers. Overall, it’s a cute, heartfelt coming-of-age story.

Loved the background story on Marty McFly’s shoes. Even after watching so many documentaries about the movie, I hadn’t come across that history before. Reading about it in chapter 4 was a highlight.

Lots of sweet quotes and facts. I think I may like this book a lot!

Things are finally starting to reveal themselves in a way that mirrors how the first book unfolded. I’m hooked!

Wow! I find myself again going back on chapter because I missed something important! I love that some of the individual stories are interconnecting.
