Hello, Lovelies,
Today I am reviewing If There’s No Tomorrow by Jennifer L Armentrout. I bought this book at Apollycon during the signings, then got it signed by the queen herself! This was the second time I had met Jennifer and I was just as excited and giddy as before!
Synopsis
A single choice can change everything.
Lena Wise is always looking forward to tomorrow, especially at the start of her senior year. She’s ready to pack in as much friend time as possible, to finish college applications, and to maybe let her childhood best friend Sebastian know how she really feels about him. For Lena, the upcoming year is going to be epic—one of opportunities and chances.
Until one choice, one moment, destroys everything.
Now Lena isn’t looking forward to tomorrow. Not when friend time may never be the same. Not when college applications feel all but impossible. Not when Sebastian might never forgive her for what happened.
For what she let happen.
With the guilt growing each day, Lena knows that her only hope is to move on. But how can she move on when she and her friends’ entire existences have been redefined? How can she move on when tomorrow isn’t even guaranteed?
Plot
This was such an interesting plot, and the synopsis does a really good job not giving so much away. I believe they made it as vague as possible to get people interested enough to read it, and it worked! Lena, our protagonist is a relatable character, just trying to make it through her senior year of High School. I think at that time in a teens life, everyone is only thinking of the future, and what is going to happen. This story shows what happens when something disrupts our plans and how we deal with that as human beings. I believe this is a really important book for Teens to read!
Main Character
Lena – At the beginning, Lena was an example of an overworked, stressed, High School Senior. She was playing volleyball, working hard for grades, pining for her best friend Sebastian, and spending all her free time with her best friends. I thought she was relatable and her growth throughout this novel was really wonderful.
Last Thoughts
This book took me on an emotional rollercoaster. It started off very normal for a contemporary romance novel, but the crash in the middle took me by surprise and made the book so, so much better. It discusses real-world issues about what happens when we make big mistakes and how to forgive ourselves. Lena’s journey to forgiving herself makes the book so much more real. think this book contains a very important story and I encourage more people to read it!
