The Here and Nowby Ann Brashares
Expected publication: April 8th 2014 by Delacorte Press
Love the cover and the colors!!
Follow the rules. Remember what happened. Never fall in love.
Thrilling, exhilarating, haunting, and heartbreaking, The Here and Now is a twenty-first-century take on an impossible romance. Ann Brashares’ first novel for teens since The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants is about a girl from the future who might be able to save the world . . . if she lets go of the one thing she’s found to hold on to.
Meet seventeen-year-old Prenna James, who immigrated to New York when she was twelve. Except Prenna didn’t come from a different country. She came from a different time—a future where a mosquito-borne illness has mutated into a pandemic, killing millions and leaving the world in ruins.
Prenna and the others who escaped to the present day must follow a strict set of rules: never reveal where they’re from, never interfere with history, and never, ever be intimate with anyone outside their community. Prenna does as she’s told, believing she can help prevent the plague that will one day ravage the earth. But everything changes when she falls for Ethan Jarves.
Doesn’t this sound great???? It sounds like a combination of SciFi with Time Traveling and .. roooomance!! Love the idea and it fits right into the recent trend of parallel universes, SciFi and time Travel! Can’t wait!

This sounds very different than Sisterhood, which I love. I’m a bit wary, but this does sound like it has tons of potential.

Definitely sounds like something I want to read! And I like the cover with the triangles — different than what we’re used to seeing for YA but still with a YA feel.

I don’t read much sci-fi and time travel too much but this sounds amazing. And the most interesting thing is that it’s totally different from Travelling pants. Will have to add this to my TBR to read in the future.
