YA Reads with Mostly Books discussion

Here are a few questions to consider after reading The Future of Us.

1. Did you like Emma and Josh? Did you feel like they grew as the story continued? Why or why not?

2. How would you react if you discovered that you could see your future? Would you want to know about your life? Would you share your knowledge with others?

3. Did you think it was fair of Emma to change her future repeatedly or did you agree with Josh that her small actions were causing ripple effects?

4. How did you feel when Josh decided that he didn't like his future as much as he initially thought? Do you think Emma's changes effect his future? Do you think he too toyed with fate by pursuing Sydney Mills in high school?

5. Is best to know your future or to let it happen? Did you like the story?

1. I found Emma somewhat annoying with her constant bleak out look on her facebook status. She did get better as the story progressed. I liked Josh and thought he was often the voice of reason for Emma.

2. I wouldn't want to know because I am sure I would fall into the same trap that Emma did and constantly want to change the outcome. I would probably have to share my secret with someone, but hopefully not too many-that just gets dangerous.

3. I think Josh was right about the ripple effects. I thought it was okay to change it once or twice but then she started to hurt the people around her in the present in order to adjust the future, and that's just not okay. Not to mention it never helped her future either.

4. I was glad Josh came around and realized that just because he was suppose to liked Sydney one day didn't mean he had to or was meant to currently like her. I also like that Josh realized that just because he looked happy on facebook didn't mean he actually was. Yes the changes Emma made did change things for Josh, even if it was only their friendship. And yes, he was playing with fate by pursuing Sydney so early on. Who knows what event cause the two to fall in love in the future.

5. Letting it happen is better and more fun. I did like the story but mostly because it was nostalgic for my teen years and the beginning of the internet. I kind of wished there was a little bit more too the story than just adjusting the future, but overall pretty good.
