"The Future of Us"

I am currently reading "The Future of Us" by Jay Asher and Carolyn Mackler and I have got to say I really love this book. It is written from the perspectives of two different people who are family friends and the time is 1996. It was before ipods, iphones and all of the current electronics we use today. When Emma gets her new computer and makes an email something, a website, appears. It shows photos a website called "Facebook" which puzzles her with all of the pictures of her but when things don't add up she discover it could be her future!

I have always liked the idea of finding out your future. When I think of finding your future I think of women in turbans reading your hand to see the "life lines" or a man saying how famous and successful you will be when you grow older, not finding it out on a website that doesn't exist yet. I really like the way the authors mixes in the current electronics of today with electronics back then. For example Emma one of the two protagonists reads on "Facebook" that her ipad is broken...she wonders what and ipad is and I really think thats a bit funny because today everyone knows what an ipad is. I think the authors did a really good job on the details on all of the details of "Facebook" and I can relate was because the first time I got a Facebook I was so confused and had no idea how to use it.

Overall, I really like this book and hopefully then ending will be as good as the beginning. So far the plot is very interesting and I hope to read more.
