The Here And Now by Ann Brashares → Start Date: June 2nd, 2014

[Marie]

"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. "

I'm about to go on to chapter 9 and I have enjoyed the book so far. I think it had a slow beginning but I personally think it's getting better. What about you guys?

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I just finished chapter 11

wow, I agree.
The first 5 chapters or so were confusing and really slow
but it's gotten much better

The Fork (view spoiler)[ I wonder who they need to save.
It wasn't her dad.....I wonder who it could be.
It has to be someone big right??? (hide spoiler)]

I like this one so far!

I read and reviewed this book if you are interested in my thoughts they are here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Mandiann]

I am still on chapter one. Been having problems with allergies and not reading much.

[Marie]

I'm going on to chapter 19

(view spoiler)[ I hope Ethan doesn't die. I like him and prenna as a couple. It would break my heart if he dies (hide spoiler)]

[Marie]

The ending

(view spoiler)[ WHAT!! I can't believe that is how the book ends. I need to know if Ethan and Prenna end up together or not.
I felt really bad that prenna's brothers and dad died. Yeah, it all worked out in the end but I was really upset when she was telling the story about Julius (hide spoiler)].

What is everyone else's thoughts?

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Yikes, sorry, I am volunteering at Girl Scout camp this week. LOL I'm SO exhausted.
I'll have more time tomorrow, I'll definitely read more and try to finish it up!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

okay I'm done

Ending (view spoiler)[ Yeah! I can't believe they just ended it there!!! (hide spoiler)]

I know (view spoiler)[ those who died...it was sad they were gone. (hide spoiler)]

it's an interesting concept (view spoiler)[ that we'd travel back but can't have too much contact with the time natives (hide spoiler)]
