A review by debi_g
The Future of Us by Jay Asher, Carolyn Mackler

4.0

Four and a half stars. I bought this as soon as I saw Jay Asher wrote it. His realistic style is easy to appreciate--so natural that the writing appears to have been effortless.

I'm a sucker for he said-she said books, so this one hooked me right away, even though I scoffed at the concept of a Facebook time portal described in the summary.

In fact, the book is likely to interest adults as much as teens. A story that hinges on the idea that every choice, however insignificant it may seem at the time, shapes our lives, is easy to get hung up on. This book is fodder for late-night conversations about what-ifs, what-might-have-beens, and the power of living in the present.

Cancel your plans and read it today. I'm so glad I did.
