I like The Future of Us. The book is set in 1996. Emma has just gotten her first computer and she puts a free America Online disk (which is the internet) into her computer with her best friend Josh watching. When they load it, they find themselves on Facebook (facebook hasn't been discovered yet) The book is about how their relationship changes as they look at their futures. They try to change their future by doing different things in the present. I loved this book. You should read it ASAP!

</ul><div>Clay Jensen receives a package in the mail.not knowing what it is. He opens it to find cassette tapes, he doesn't understand, not knowing who sent them to him. There are thirteen tapes front and back. When he listens to them, he figures out they are the voice of Hannah Baker, his classmate, that died about two weeks earlier. He listens to them back to back and can't put them down. He listens to her last words. He realizes how the thirteen people affected her death.Through out some of the book, I thought when is this all going to link together? I started linking somethings, but the ending I was left hanging with. I wanted to know more in the end. Maybe I just didn't understand it. I read this book and I liked it, but it wasn't a favorite. It's on my mom's TBR list and we are going to discuss it after she reads it. <br />
