Synopsis

Back to the Future meets To All the Boys in this thrilling new YA time-travel romance by award-winning author Maurene Goo.

Samantha Kang has always butted heads with her mom, Priscilla, who is a first-generation Korean American, a former high school cheerleader and expects Sam to want the same all-American nightmare. Meanwhile, Sam is a girl of the times who has no energy for clichéd high school aspirations. After a huge fight, Sam is desperate to get away from Priscilla, but instead, finds herself thrown back. Way back.

To her shock, Sam lands in the '90s . . . alongside a 17-year-old Priscilla. Now, Sam has to deal with outdated tech, regressive '90s attitudes, and a time-crossed romance with the right guy in the wrong era.

With the clock ticking, Sam must figure out how to fix things with Priscilla or risk being trapped in an analog world forever. Sam's blast to the past has her questioning everything she thought she knew about her mom . . . and herself.

"the fresh, funny, yet profoundly thoughtful time travel story you didn't know you needed-but trust me, you definitely do . . ." Veronica Roth, New York Times bestselling author

"Funny and big-hearted, romantic, and delightfully unexpected in the best way" Nicola Yoon, No.1 New York Times bestselling author
