Throwback

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

With all the humor and heart that are Maurene Goo's specialty, Throwback is the fresh, funny, yet profoundly thoughtful time travel story you didn't know you needed-but trust me, you definitely do. An absolutely delightful book Veronica Roth, New York Times bestselling author of Divergent and Chosen Ones
Throwback is one of those rare books that manages to unearth deep truths with the lightest of touches. It's funny and big-hearted, romantic, and delightfully unexpected in the best way. It was a true pleasure to read Nicola Yoon, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Instructions for Dancing
I absolutely adored Throwback! It's fun and laugh-out-loud funny-but with a message that resonates and characters I couldn't stop thinking about. A tour de force from Maurene Goo, and a book I know I'll be returning to again and again Morgan Matson, New York Times bestselling author of Save the Date and Take Me Home Tonight
No one can blend family, humor, satire, and love into a single perfect story like Maurene Goo can. I inhaled this book in a single sitting, lost in the magic of this tale of mothers and daughters and the weight of generational divides. I laughed, I sobbed, and now I want to hand this book to everyone I know Marie Lu, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Skyhunter
With a hauntingly hilarious premise-getting flung back in time to be besties with your mean girl mom in high school-Throwback is bright, warm and wholly engrossing. Brimming with breezy dialogue and wry fashion observations, Maurene Goo has rendered a captivating jaunt through the mid-nineties, complete with casual racism and vintage identity politics. Slyly provocative, compulsively readable, with an absolutely tantalizing twist, Throwback is a striking, heartfelt addition to the time-travel canon. I want to hang out with the Korean women in this family Mary H.K. Choi, New York Times bestselling author
Throwback is as fun and feel-good as your favorite '90s teen flick but wrapped up in a beautifully written and poignant story of mothers, daughters, the immigrant experience, and the 'American dream.' Maurene Goo writes with heart, humor, tenderness and an unabashed optimism that will remind readers what's worth believing in-and the importance of being true to yourself. No other author out there is doing it like Maurene, and Throwback is her best yet. An absolute triumph by an unparalleled talent Courtney Summers, New York Times bestselling author of I'm the Girl and Sadie
Inventive, fun and fresh, Throwback explores the mysteries of destiny, identity, and more than one kind of love Rebecca Stead, Newbery Award medalist and bestselling author of When You Reach Me
