I have been reading about this book alot lately in the blogosphere and it sounded very interesting (and let's face it anything with Facebook in the description catches my attention!) I also love books told in alternating narratives - I like seeing things from different perspectives. It was a very cute,
very quick read...nothing earth shattering but fun. It is also fun to contemplate what my younger self would think of my life via my Facebook posts (perhaps that I drink too much wine *ahem* but that is for a very different blog post.)
Up next I am moving to an adult novel The Thirteen Hallows by Michael Scott and Colette Freedman....I need to get out of high school for the moment :)
Book Description via Amazon.com
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.
