"Samantha Kang has always butted heads with her mom. Priscilla is first-generation Korean American, a former high school cheerleader who expects Sam to want the same all-American nightmare. Meanwhile, Sam is a girl of the times who has no energy for clich¢ed high school aspirations. After a huge blowup, 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 Now, Sam has to deal with outdated tech, regressive '90s attitudes, and a time-crossed romance with the right guy in the wrong era.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. One thing's for sure: Time is a mother"--

So boring could not finish it.
The book was a very wholesome story very similar to Back to the Future. Makes for a great read if you are in a reading slump and want something different. The 90’s comments is pretty funny and it was nice seeing the mom and daughter grow. The ending was ok and ties everything up in a nice bow
Most definitely a great book to share with your daughter in these trying times with so much coming at you and many different perspectives that one can easily miss the point to it all.
I don't know how I feel about this book. I thought it was just going to be a fun read but it was emotional one too. It tackles the relationship of mothers and daughters for 3 generations. With Sam going back in time, she is able to understand what happened with her mother and grandmother along with getting to know her mother more. I think we all wish we knew what our parents outside of them being moms and dads.
Teen angst with generational squabbles, high school drama and time travel thanks to an off brand ride share company. Light reading, relatable interactions and some Korean cooking thrown in
