Book & Movie Club - Throwback & Back To the Future

In Throwback a girl gets sent back to the ’90s to help her teenage mom win Homecoming Queen and to us this totally has Back to the Future vibes. In fact, when in the first movie Marty goes back into the past he prevents his parents from having their meet-cute and so he has to fix everything and make them fall in love in order to actually exist in what is his present. We will read the book all month on our own, then watch the movie, & chat on them together

Throwback by Maurene Goo
“Being a first-generation Asian American immigrant is hard. You know what’s harder? Being the daughter of one. Samantha Kang has never gotten along with her mother, Priscilla—and has never understood her bougie-nightmare, John Hughes high school expectations. After a huge fight between them, Sam is desperate to move forward—but instead, finds herself thrown back. Way back. To her shock, Sam finds herself back in high school . . . in the ’90s . . . with a 17-year-old Priscilla. Now this Gen Z girl must try to fit into an analog world. She’s got the fashion down, but everything else is baffling. What is “microfiche”? What’s with the casual racism and misogyny? And why does it feel like Priscilla is someone she could actually be . . . friends with? Sam’s blast to the past has her finding the right romance in the wrong time while questioning everything she thought she knew about her mom . . . and herself. Will Sam figure out what she needs to do to fix things for her mom so that she can go back to a time she understands? Brimming with heart and humor, Maurene Goo’s time-travel romance asks big questions about what exactly one inherits and loses in the immigrant experience.“
