RaveChapter 16Dazzling ... The authenticity of the narrator’s emotions, the consistency and fullness of her voice, and her prismatic recollections of her mother shine ... She possesses a poet’s sensibilities, an astounding eye for details, crackling humor, complex characters, and the capacity to spin richly woven, character-driven narratives. Does this book even qualify as autofiction? Frankly, the writing is so captivating it doesn’t matter. Fact or fiction, a great story is a great story.

RaveChapter 16A surprising bildungsroman and excellent beach reading. It fizzes like pop and goes down easily while offering nutritional literary value ... This Time Tomorrow doesn’t partake of the usual clichés associated with midlife crises ... Straub maintains a delicious sort of control, moving backward and forward in time, dancing through various futures for Alice. The result is a beguiling performance and one of the knockout reads of the summer. This Time Tomorrow is a touching and suspenseful novel, ripe with ideas, brilliantly plotted, and generous with its dashes of humor.
