It’s 1996 and Josh and Emma encounter the internet for the first time. Emma uses her email and password that she obviously keeps to adulthood because when she logs on she discovers her own Facebook profile – 15 years in the future.

I’m liking

Josh and Emma are set to graduate in 1997, 2 years after I did, so I enjoyed all the references to things teens did back in the nineties, not sure that would be relevant for today’s teen readers though! The premise is quite interesting, and I enjoyed wondering what I would have done given a similar situation.

Things that made me go hmmmm

I found this book a bit too predictable for my tastes, and the ending just wrapped up a little too easily and nicely. I like my endings a bit murkier.

The conclusion

This book is a nice easy read and would appeal to younger teens who want a bit of light enjoyable reading rather than anything heavy.
