What would you do if you could see your life in the future? Would you change it?
Emma and Josh are teenagers in 1996. Facebook has not yet been created. Yet, when Emma logs onto AOL a website appears. Facebook. 15 years in the future. She sees her life and she is not totally content with what she sees herself posting in 15 years. Throughout the novel Emma and Josh check Facebook and see how their behavior has changed the events of the future.

I enjoyed this book as it switched back and forth between Emma and Josh's perspective of the situation. The book also gives good commentary on worrying about the future or the present as well as how one small act can affect the future.
