The Future of Us
It's 1996, and Josh and Emma have been neighbors their whole lives. They've been best friends almost as long - at least, up until last November, when Josh did something that changed everything. Things have been weird between them ever since, but when Josh's family gets a free AOL CD in the mail,his mom makes him bring it over so that Emma can install it on her new computer. When they sign on, they're automatically logged onto their Facebook pages. But Facebook hasn't been invented yet. And they're looking at themselves fifteen years in the future.
By refreshing their pages, they learn that making different decisions now will affect the outcome of their lives later. And as they grapple with the ups and downs of what their futures hold, they're forced to confront what they're doing right - and wrong - in the present. summary from GoodReads
What a fun book! I kept telling my daughter about this book while I was reading it. She loves time travel and I knew this book would be right up her ally. Unfortunately, I told her too much because she then proceeded to steal my book from me and read it before I could finish it!! I had to move on to a different book while she read my copy. She did get it finished in one day though, so I got back to it the next morning. I just finished it tonight. I am definitely going to order this one for our school library. A fun read that makes you wonder about what would happen if you really could see your own future. Would you be happy with what you saw? Would you attempt to change it?
