Blog Tour & Book Look: Time-Tripping Over You by Brennon Lane

Time-Tripping Over You is a queer time travel debut written by Black, queer, trans author Brennon Lane, who has said he hopes his books offer the diverse representation he always wanted. The story follows Silas, a Black and trans college freshman studying astrophysics, who has been time traveling back to his younger self for the last five years without explanation. When he discovers another student experiencing the same thing, the mystery deepens. The cover is such a good nod to science class…graph paper, scribbled notes, very fun. This one releases tomorrow, March 10th from Page Street YA, so check out our book look and add it to your TBR or get those library holds in!

“You’re not from here? Where are you from?”
“Your future. I know you, Jude. And I know you want control over the time traveling. I can fix it.”

College freshman Silas Turner is a scientific anomaly. Thrown back in time uncontrollably, he’s forced into his pre-transition body for hours to days at a time, reliving random events in his past. Why? Every cell in his astrophysics major brain is straining to figure it out. But the “time trips” just keep on coming, disrupting Silas’s life, and he’s certain he’s a one-of-a-kind phenomenon—until brash, guitar-playing Jude Forrester barges into his life, exhibiting the same symptoms.

He claims a future version of Silas visited him, and that, according to future-Silas, they’re meant to help each other stop the time trips. If working together can really lead to finding a cure, Silas can handle Jude’s tortured-artist attitude; Jude can humor Silas’s nerdy obsession with the stars.

As they get closer to a solution, they grow closer to each other. But Jude is still grieving an old connection that broke his heart, and he can’t help but wonder if changing the past might save himself and Silas a lot of heartache. Amidst cataclysmic consequences, Silas and Jude must face the cosmic circumstances that brought them together if they hope to protect their timeline—and the future they seem destined to share.

Book Look

When I was putting together my book look for this one, I kept thinking about what it means for Silas to be pulled back into his body before transition, the disorientation of that, the emotional weight of it. I’m not trans, but as a queer person I wanted to honor that thread of the story rather than gloss over it. So I went with the trans flag: pink cable knit, white boots, and blue denim. Pink, white, blue. Trans joy is real and worth celebrating, and this book takes seriously what it costs to be severed from the version of yourself you’ve worked so hard to become.

The progress pride pin felt right, too. Queer solidarity is part of why we read books like this one!
