From the New York Times bestselling author of Thirteen Reasons Why and the award-winning author of The Earth, My Butt, and Other Round Things comes a young adult romance where a couple gets a peek at their future lives.
“A romantic comedy about the risk of sacrificing moments of happiness in the present by living for the future.”—Shelf Awareness
“A clever, timely story.”—Booklist, starred review
Everybody wonders what their destiny will be. Josh and Emma are about to find out . . .
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 everything changed. Things have been awkward ever since, but when Josh’s family gets a free AOL CD-ROM 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 Facebook . . . but Facebook hasn’t been invented yet. Josh and Emma are looking at themselves fifteen years in the future.
Their spouses, careers, homes, and status updates—it’s all there. And every time they refresh their pages, their futures change. As they grapple with the ups and downs of what their lives hold, they’re forced to confront what they’re doing right—and wrong—in the present.
