Kelly lives a charmed life. A popular high school senior, he is signed as starting quarterback at Ohio State for next fall, has the perfect cheerleader girlfriend, and is adored by everyone in town. When he wakes up one morning having traveled back in time from twenty years in the future, he must figure out why. Together with his best friend Patrick, Kelly is forced to face the consequences of a cruel teen's actions, and figure out if changing the past can alter the future.

The Long Wait for Tomorrow is an engaging, suspenseful, but confusing read with themes of fate, destiny, and making amends. Mature, thought provoking subject matter probably makes this book most appropriate for older teens. The concept of time travel and returning from the future to right the wrongs of the past is interesting and discussion-worthy. An incident of bullying and humiliation is central to the storyline and incites hatred and violence from the targeted boy. A violent shooting incident takes place. Language is graphic, underage drinking is rampant, and teen sex is implied. Family is dysfunctional while friendship is supportive.
