  Reviewer Note: Yet another book that I can't really summarize. Here is the premise written from the site Goodreads. (Totally go check that website out it! It is perfect for tracking your reads and finding amazing books!)   
I will be uploading to my book reviews twice a week from this point on (Most likely to be on Wednesdays and Fridays and when the summer's over my schedule may vary). Enjoy!

Author: Ann Brashares Fiction  

Notable Character(s):
-Prenna
-Ethan

An unforgettable epic romantic thriller 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.


Follow the rules. Remember what happened. Never fall in love.

This is the story of 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 Prenna falls for Ethan Jarves.   


Feels:
It was unexpectedly satisfying. It was light and a bit addictive. Yet when it was time to close the book the story stays with you. Prenna and Ethan have a pretty amazing chemistry. But I wish this was not the only book with Prenna and Ethan as the main characters (I want a series). I feel that there is more that can be written for them and their world, but none the less it was a great read. The ending is left open ended which I suspect corresponds with what the story represents--> An open and unexpected future (something Prenna could not see before she met Ethan) (**No spoilers I promise**) ((PrennaXoXEthan)) <--They are adorable!
