Where do I start?
The Here and Now is lightning-paced (took me three hours to read but then again, I'm a really fast reader) and the plot is pretty intense. It's quite simple in language and not very hard to follow.
Here are Basic Facts on the book:
-There's a girl called Prenna and a boy called Ethan.
-Prenna's from the future and Ethan can "see" people who came from the future.
-Mosquitoes are deadlier than AIDS.
-It shows that our world and timeline can get pretty dystopian (as shown by the various Ms. and Mr.'s and Mrs.'s who are very annoying and evil) even in small doses.
The book has gotten what you would call "mixed reviews". Some people think it doesn't measure up to the other work that Ann B. has done (The Sisterhood of The Traveling Pants series if you were wondering), but I think it's pretty good. It's a fantastic read for travels and sitting for those insanely lengthy periods of time in the airport that aren't really all that long.
I mean, it could have been better and there was something kinda missing from it, like there was a hole that wasn't filled by the end (maybe that's just the love thing), but I liked it. Ann B.'s definitely got the whole "for the greater good" thing down pat. I recommend it as a summer read mostly.

If you want to buy it (good on ya mate) go here to compare prices and whatnot and here if you just want to go straight to the buying.
The song of this post is Why Don't We Go There by One Direction. I think it pretty much sums up the book in fact. Yes, I'm a One Direction fan. Got a problem?
Okay?,
