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."
I am totally in love with the YA Dystopia genre! I haven't read a book yet that I haven't liked and this is one more to add to that list.
Prenna and Ethan are great characters, I loved the twists in the plot that made me say, "Oh!" out loud. Reading about things that happen (and are always a possibility) in the not so distant future was super interesting. It made me think about how old I will be at that time and what life could be like if these things actually happened.
Well written story, well written characters. I had not yet read anything by Ann Brashares so I wasn't sure what to expect. Though I had seen the Traveling Pants movies and thought they were good, so I figured it had to be good. Didn't count on it being excellent. I am not a fan of science, I find it pretty boring, this book made me want to actually Google some of the concepts that were discussed.
A definite add to your to read list, you don't want to miss out on this one.
