About the 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.
My Review
I would first like to comment on the cover of the book. I really liked the cover. I thought that cover it perfectly with what the story was about. Having the binary numbers all over the book from the cover to the inside was brilliant. I also thought that the inside of the book was interesting, because it is in the binary numbers but it also displays what a Facebook page looks like. This was the first book that I read by Jay Asher and Carolyn Mackler. Actually I haven’t read any of their books individually, so yeah this is the first book I’m reading from both of them. I’m not sure who wrote what pieces, but I’m thinking Mr. Asher wrote Josh, and Mrs. Mackler wrote Emma. It could be vice versa, but either way I really enjoyed the book. I thought that they captured the Emma and Josh in this environment really well. I remember what it was like when I got a computer and had the AOL CD-ROM. The authors caught that perfectly. This book was a really good read. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a new read, or anyone who reads Jay Asher or Carolyn Mackler.
Until next time, Happy Reading!
