'Funny and big-hearted, romantic, and delightfully unexpected in the best way' Nicola Yoon, No.1 New York Times bestselling author

Back to the Future meets To All the Boys in this YA contemporary romance about a Korean American girl sent back to the '90s to (reluctantly) help her teenage mom win Homecoming Queen.

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 Now, Sam has to deal with outdated tech, regressive '90s attitudes, and a time-crossed romance with the right guy in the wrong era.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

Brimming with heart and humour, Maurene Goo's time-travel romance asks big questions about what exactly one inherits and loses in the immigrant experience.

Full of banter, love and laughter, Throwback doesn't miss a beat and explores lots of big topics thoughtfully and in a respectful manner. Fans of Maurene Goo's previous books would love this!
