The Future Of Us


THE FUTURE OF US BY JAY ASHER & CAROLYN MACKLER



first of all here's the summary of this book: 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.

This book is such an easy read, it took me about 5 hours to read the whole book and i think you don't need more than 3 days to finish it, because once you start this book  you wont be able to put it down. 

To be honest the main character Emma wasn't one of my favorite characters at all, i was frustrated through out the whole book  just because she's like super selfish and annoying. i know that some of you might disagree with what i said but this is how i truly feel about her because at the beginning she doesn't really know what she wants.

on the other hand josh is actually quiet the opposite, hes kind and considerate and very sweet.
my absolute favorite character is Tyson (surprise!!) he's just one of those characters that you wish they were real so you could befriend them in real life.

I really like the idea behind this book and i know that there are lots of deeper meanings to this book but i just couldn't really see "it" because i certainly feel like that the authors left out lots of holes in this book, other than that it's really good.

This book is the type of book that you're glad you read but after few months (or day if you're me) you won't really remember the details of it.

I'd give it 3.5/5 stars 

and the song that you might wanna add to your playlist while you're reading this book is .........   WALKING ON SUNSHINE .. you know what they say "old is gold"
