Maurene Goo's "Throwback" Is About Time Travel, Teenagers, and Mom

View descriptionShare

If you haven’t always had the easiest time getting along with your mom, this episode is for you. As teenagers, it can be hard to “put the shoe on the other foot” and understand where our parents are coming from. That’s what author Maurene Goo wished she could’ve done better when she was younger. Her latest novel, “Throwback” — the Reese’s Book Club Winter Young Adult pick — is a fresh take on a timeless time travel story, which explores mother-daughter relationships and what it would be like to know the 17-year-old version of your parent. She shares how “Back to the Future” inspired her, and what it was like to experience the ’90s through a Gen Z lens.
