I tried to read The Here and Now but it has the dumbest premise and is just not believable at all. Here is a paragraph from the book: It is unfair. People versus mosquito. Who should win? We built rockets and cathedrals. We wrote poems and symphonies. We found a passage through time. And yet. We als...
The Here and Now has the makings of a good time travel/controlling cult/forbidden love story. But something must have gone wrong in the combining of these ingredients. In the positive category, we have:– A big ol’ wasteland of a future, justifying the trip back in time to save the people of the past...
When this book was finally over, more than anything else, I was relieved. Relieved that I didn’t have to read it anymore, try to make sense of it anymore, try and care about the characters anymore. I was relieved it was just done and I wouldn’t have to think about it anymore. Maybe that’s one of the...
I received a copy through netgalley. The here and now is an interesting take on time travel and how it changes everything. It makes you think about how far you might go for to change the future for the ones you love. It was a good read bit I didn't find that it grabbed me as much as I had wished. Th...
www.readingbifrost.comThe novel starts out fair enough. Ethan meets Prenna when she falls through time to escape her dystopian future along with several other “survivors”. But as the book moved on, it made less and less sense and the characters never got past the flatness that they first impressed.T...
Full review on my blog.The Here and Now by Ann Brashares is a YA story marketed as “an unforgettable epic romantic thriller” about Prenna James, a 17-year-old girl from the future, year 2090, who might be able to save the world if she manages to “follow the rules, remember what happened and never fa...
When NetGalley offered a new book by Ann Brashares, I was probably one of the first to request it. I am not ashamed to admit that I read every book in the Traveling Pants series, despite the fact that I was slightly beyond a young adult when they came out. People who know me well understand the effe...
Prenna James arrived in New York at the young age of twelve. Not off a boat. No, she came from the future. A world so ruined that those uninfected by a mosquito-borne plague must escape to a different time. Rules are to be followed so that no one knows that she and those that traveled with her a...
This is a great young adult book, that combines an almost post apocalyptic dystopian with more contemporary themes. Adding to that, Ann Brashares has the same flow with words that creates quite a bit of drama and emotions that doesn’t need to be said directly. However, one downfall to the story is t...
Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Thank you Delacorte! This book was a bit boring and not exactly that I expected. Overall, I enjoyed parts of it but a large portion of it made me scratch my head with the WTF. Warning, from here ...
