Book Review: The Future of Us by Jay Asher

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.

My Thoughts:

I straight up devoured this book. I couldn't read it fast enough. I actually read this book back in May, around the time I started my blog, but somehow never wrote a review on it. I don't remember all the little things, but I remember how this book made me feel.

It was a really fast read for me. I loved how when I was reading this book, it mad me think about the past and how much things have changed since I was a teen. This is really an original idea. Now days everybody is so into social media sites. Especially Facebook, I only know a few people who don't have one. And I remember what it was like before Myspace and Facebook, and I couldn't even imagine going on my old Windows 95 and finding Facebook.

I loved Josh and Emma. They really were cute together, even though just friends. They seemed like people I would want to be friends with. And I liked that they had known each other their whole lives, instead of just for a few years. It really put more depth into the story. And made their experience with Facebook and their futures more meaningful to explore together.

It did get a little repetitive towards the last third of the book, but it picked back up and didn't bother me much more. I liked their adventure with all of the stuff that went on. I was a really great story. The ending was left a little open. But I'm fine with that, I used my imagination to fill in what I wanted to happen. Or how I think everyone ended up.

Overall this was a great book, I really love Jay Asher, I think he's an amazing author. I gave this book four stars on Goodreads, and I think that everyone should read it!

Top Ten Bookish People I Want To Meet

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly

 meme held over at The Broke and the Bookish. 

This weeks topic is the top ten bookish people 

you'd like to meet. It can be authors or bloggers,

or anyone, as long as they're bookish :)

1. Robert Kirkman

I obviously chose him because he is the 

creator/author of The Walking Dead comics!

 I am currently OBSESSED with it! I have 

read up to about issue #95 in 10 days! 

I've been reading as much as time

 allows. I think I'm in love :)

2. Jamie McGuire

I love her too. Such a great author. I am 

completely in love with Travis from Beautiful

Disaster. I can't wait for her next book. 

3. Cat Patrick

Awesome, awesome ideas! I don't know

she comes up with these ideas. But the

execution is absolutely fabulous! I would

love to pick her brain!

4. Ellen Hopkins

I absolutely love all her books. I haven't

read one yet that I disliked even a little.

5. Veronica Roth

OMG! The author of Divergent! Enough said!

6. Jay Asher

13 Reasons Why was so powerful for me

& The Future of Us was absolutely epic!

Both are definitely must reads! 

Can't wait for his future books!

7. John Green

Although I didn't really like Looking For

Alaska, I know that he is a awesome author.

And the fact that he makes YouTube 

videos with his brother?! Awesome!

I'm done with authors. Since I'm new to the book blogger community, I haven't really talked to a lot of fellow bloggers, but there are a few I'd love to meet :)

8. Bianca :)

Bianca was one of the first to say hello to 

me and she's always been so nice to me.

And I always get excited when she leaves 

comments on my blog posts, it lets me 

know that someone other than me is 

reading it. I think she's not too far 

away, maybe one day we can hang out :)

She is co-author of Pages of Forbidden Love.

9. Theta Sigma

I don't know his real name, but he too was

one of the first to say hello to me. He's 

very kind and always has something funny 

to say :) His blog is Resolution Corner.

10. Loretta

I first saw Loretta on YouTube, I love

her videos. I think she's hilarious. And

I love when she buys a million books. 

You can tell that she is completely 

obsessed with books, as am i. 

Her blog is Between the Pages.

Did you do a TTT this week?

Leave a link :)

Have a great one!
