See You Yesterday by Rachel Lynn Solomon
5.0
Well, well, well. Where do I even begin? I'm just gonna start off by saying that I absolutely freaking LOVED this book (which isn't much of a shock since I loved [b:Today Tonight Tomorrow|52766407|Today Tonight Tomorrow|Rachel Lynn Solomon|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1582468069l/52766407._SY75_.jpg|62013760])! It was like being on a rollercoaster of emotions from happy, to humor, to tearing up, it was so beautiful. Being able to read and watch Barrett and Miles work through the troubles of their pasts and the uncertainty, yet hopefulness of their future made this book so lovable. In this book you get a bit of that enemies to lovers at the beginning, but as you see their relationship transform through various different stages, you realize that it's something far deeper. Far more vulnerable than what may have just seemed like surface level enemies to lovers. There were so many heartfelt moments of just pure laughter and joy watching Barrett and Miles "live life to the fullest" by doing the craziest things they could think of. Not to mention, being able to slowly understand both of these characters and what shapes them into who they are/how they are around each other is what was the icing on the cake.
Simultaneously, seeing Barrett and Lucie work through their past and become vulnerable to each other was something beautiful that definitely must not get overlooked. I'm sure we all can relate to having that one person from the past that just didn't end on the best of terms, but this book opens that door for the possibility of misunderstanding. Of letting our own biases and views of the events overpower the other potential view. Seeing Lucie and Barrett in different settings/different times was really something special in it's own way.
I do also want to mention that I loved that this book takes place at the beginning of college. At that transitional period between high school and the past, to college and the future. I personally feel that there is not nearly enough books that take place in the college scene that are also romance along with tackling different struggles that plague this group of people (wanting to change, being okay with not being okay, feeling okay to open up whenever you are ready, tackling your past, etc).
To conclude this, I just want to say that I absolutely love [a:Rachel Lynn Solomon|15298200|Rachel Lynn Solomon|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1530989204p2/15298200.jpg] with my whole heart. Every book I have read by her makes me feel equally giddy and emotional. I literally almost cried at the end of this book. ANYWHOOOO this book is definitely a must read for everyone. I cannot stress enough the importance of the themes mentioned in this story and you will equally fall in love with Barrett Bloom and Miles Kasher-Okamoto.
*Also let me just say page 382 on libby (I believe it's like 378ish in the physical book) makes my heart melt :')
