Principal Meadows announces Neil as the class valedectorian, and so Rowan loses to Neil again! Our girl can’t catch a break. Rowan comes across her list of guide to high school success she wrote four years ago, and realizes she hasn’t accomplished anything from the list except one, to become the Westview class valedictorian. The senior class prepares on their last day including the game of Howl, a scavenger hunt with a twist across Seattle, and the assembly where the principal will announce the class valedictorian. Ever since, they’ve been outdoing each other from debates, pull-ups during gym class, SAT scores to college acceptance.

Neil scoffed when Rowan got second place for picking a romance novel. Rowan came in second with her essay on Nora Roberts’ Vision in White. Rowan narrates that their rivalry started during freshman year when Neil’s essay on The Great Gatsby won a schoolwide contest about a book that has impacted them the most. Enter Neil McNair, Rowan’s archnemesis since freshman year. She secretly reads and writes romance novels, loves vintage clothes, a fan of “sad music” and a vegan. The story is written in Rowan’s POV who is a smart, optimistic, competitive senior. Set in Seattle, Today Tonight Tomorrow by Rachel Lynn Solomon tells the story of two ultra-competitive, high school seniors, Rowan Roth and Neil McNair vying for the valedictorian spot at West View High School in a 24-hour timeline, which culminates with a scavenger hunt.
