In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

If Tomorrow Comes steers clear of modern woke pitfalls. It’s character-driven, mostly non-woke in its treatment of gender and culture, and avoids ideological groupthink. A refreshing blast from the pre-woke past.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

In our view, "If Tomorrow Comes" emphasizes personal grit and intelligence over identity politics. The protagonist, Tracy, is defined by her wits and resilience, not by her gender or social identity. Identity factors hardly overshadow character development or drive the plot, this is classic character-first storytelling.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While Tracy challenges the traditional roles for women, the book doesn't actively mock or undermine religion, masculinity, or family. These themes are present but not rewritten to fit modern ideological narratives. The novel mostly sticks to personal morality and justice themes without heavy-handed revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s some critique of corrupt institutions, but traditional and dissenting viewpoints are not villainized or lampooned for ideological reasons. The book allows for a range of perspectives, with no forced ideological conformity among its characters.
