A review by brendaclay
The Future of Us by Jay Asher, Carolyn Mackler
4.0
I loved the premise of this novel: in 1996, two (former) best friends sign up for AOL only to see their Facebook profiles - fifteen years in the future. Things get more and more complicated as the profiles change based on decisions they make in the present. It wasn't quite as awesome as I hoped, but I really enjoyed it. I'm a fan of plots involving time travel/telling the future via current technology (see also one of my 80s faves, Rewind to Yesterday by Susan Beth Pfeffer).
The characters are exactly my age (I was also a junior in the spring of 1996), so I felt a fond connection to them. :)
