“The product of a dream collaboration between two very successful authors, this is the story of two teenagers, Josh and Emma, in 1996. Emma gets a computer as a gift, and Josh's mother sends him over to Emma's house with a free AOL disc. Once the disc is loaded and boots up, it shows Emma her Facebook page -- from 2011! Emma lets Josh in on the secret -- it turns out he has a page in 2011 too -- and the weirdness multiplies. Every time either of them makes a decision based on something they learn on Facebook, it changes their future. This fascinating book about the price of decisions and their consequences points out that what you do now can affect you forever. A fabulous read!”
