The Future of Us

This was one of those YA novels that make you cringe, not one that makes you smile at the end with nostalgia. The plot is interesting enough, but the characters were incredibly unlikable.

3.5 stars

I think Jay Asher is better atwriting from a girl's point of view than of a guy's point of view.
The book is good, but it is not fantastic. I loved the idea on which the story was based but there were a lot of weak parts which explains my average rating. I think the book could have been written better or expressed in a better way.

I found this one tedious and not very interesting. The main characters were annoying largely unlikeable. I also felt like the 90s setting was forced down my throat. I guess that's for the benefit of kids who weren't there...yikes.

A very cool premise ruined by terrible, horrible, no good, very bad protagonists. And lame plots. Or lack thereof.

3.5 stars

Emma is one of the most unlikeable protagonists of a book I've read this year. I almost gave this two stars because I thought Josh was decent, but the ending was just too disappointing.

Aww, a cute teen romance. Probably more appealing to actual adults than to young adults, due to all the mid-90s nostalgia. Remember Windows 95?! Remember it!? Teenagers do not.
