When you were in high-school struggling to figure out your place in the world, what would you do if you got a glimpse into your future. Emma and Josh find out when an AOL promotional disc opens up a window into something called FaceBook fifteen years in the future. It is this strange world where people comment on their lives and the things the are doing. Josh thinks this is a prank, but Emma isn't so sure. Emma realizes that her future self isn't happy and decides she is going to try and fix it. Josh tries to stop her, but can't help but want to see what his future holds.
Seeing the future can take your focus off the present, to the detriment of your future. Being so focused on what might happen makes you forget what you should be doing in the here and now.
At first I thought the premiss of the book would be kind of strange, but the character development was very well done. In high-school I remember getting so caught up in my future that I forgot to pay attention to what was currently happening.
The story was very well written and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
