MY REVIEW
First, this is not a Christian fiction book. However, it is a YA read, and quite possibly the best I've read in a very long time. Wr
itten perfectly in first person, you get inside the head of a seventeen year old girl who is not only struggling to find herself, but is struggling with rules and regulations from the future that, if violated, will kill her.
Fascinating story premise and execution. Original in depiction of 88 years into the future. The storyline is very well woven suspense and mystery. Believable characters, and Preanna is such a teenagery person, but wise beyond her years. But, it still works.
This is well worth the money and earns 5 of 5 stars.
ABOUT THE BOOK
An unforgettable epic romantic thriller about a girl from the future
who might be able to save the world . . . if she lets go of the one
thing she’s found to hold on to.
Follow the rules. Remember what happened. Never fall in love.
This
is the story of seventeen-year-old Prenna James, who immigrated to New
York when she was twelve. Except Prenna didn’t come from a different
country. She came from a different time—a future where a mosquito-borne
illness has mutated into a pandemic, killing millions and leaving the
world in ruins.
Prenna and the others who escaped to the
present day must follow a strict set of rules: never reveal where
they’re from, never interfere with history, and never, ever be intimate
with anyone outside their community. Prenna does as she’s told,
believing she can help prevent the plague that will one day ravage the
earth.
But everything changes when Prenna falls for Ethan Jarves.
From Ann Brashares, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series, The Here and Now is thrilling, exhilarating, haunting, and heartbreaking—and a must-read novel of the year.
