The Future of Us (356 Pages)

Jay Asher ( author of Thirteen Reasons Why) co-authored this book with Carolyn Mackler (author of The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big Round Things). The book offers one chapter in Josh's voice and the next in Emma's voice. Josh and Emma have lived next to each other for years. They have been best friends, until Josh perceived the relationship to be more, and Emma was shocked at the thought. "You're...Josh!" she said. And he felt shunned and embarrassed. He stays away from Emma until one day his mother sends him next door with an America On Line CD that offers 30 free hours of free web time, including email. Emma loads it on to the new computer her father has sent her, only to be amazed that it shows her life 15 years into the future! She calls Josh over and the same thing happens when he joins the service. How they live their lives making changes or not that effect their future is what the story is all about. It's a good read.
