The Here and Now Ann Brashares Books

Time travel stories are hard to write and have them make sense. Branshares does a pretty good job with the explaining of how Prenna arrived in the current time. She wasn't an immigrant, she was a time traveler.

Ethan knows Prenna - not from the now, but from the past. When he meets up with her, he knows there's something special about her but doesn't pressure Prenna to tell the truth. Instead, he accompanies her on her mission to save the future.

I really liked the building of the relationship between Prenna and Ethan. However, with Prenna being on this super huge time relevant mission, I really felt that all of their side detours really took away from the urgency of what she was trying to do. It felt like there were two different stories happening within one plot.

Definitely a different style that I'm used to seeing from Branshares, but not a bad one. I did like it and I am interested in what happens next with these characters.

The Here and Now Ann Brashares Books Reviews

Loved it
A great (and clean) YA futuristic time travel novel! As a HUGE fan of My Name Is Memory, this was a great YA version with a dyasporia twist instead of the reincarnation twist of MNIM's time travel. A very original, an even believable, story line, you'll find yourself wishing for love under the most unlikely of circumstances.
This was an "OK" story with a very predictable plot and storyline. Alittle corny at times but I did finish the book to find out how it ended.
There was no wow factor in this story, alittle adventure and some romance, but nothing that made you excited about picking it back up when its time to read again.
I expected a boring love story, but got an interesting mystery and action story. With love thrown in. I forgot how good of a writer she is.
I'm a MAJOR Ann Brashares fan. Have read all of her books. My favorite is The Last Summer of You and Me. Needless to say when I saw she had a book coming out, I preordered it and waited eagerly in anticipation for it to download on my kindle. The plot and concept was very interesting and I really bought in at first. It is another of these popular dystopian society books that have become all the rage in young adult books and subsequent movies. But the last quarter of the book went completely downhill and then it just ended and made me feel like there was no real point to me reading this book. Another thing I'm kind of confused about with Ann, is that her last book My Name is Memory (really good, cool concept as well) ended very abruptly as well and I assumed that there would be a sequel forthcoming. This just doubled the disappointment that not only was this no sequel, it was kind of a horrible read. Sorry Ann. I still love you. But can you please write a sequel to My Name is Memory??
This book grabbed me from the very beginning and I could not put it down. I thought she'd hit her peak after "My Name Is Memory" because it was one of the best books I've ever read, but this followed suit. Incredible book, incredible author, and Ann Brashares truly is one of the greatest authors of our time. If you only know her as the "Traveling Pants" author, I urge you to read her other works. Fans of Science Fiction as well as romance will love this. It's the perfect marriage of the two genres. Truly a great read, and I'd recommend it to anyone.
Most novels (movies or shows) that involve time travel usually end awkwardly and a good portion have a tendency to end with "and it turns out she was her own grandmother".

I really love how the book set up the premise that no future is perfect for everybody. One future led to environmental ruin and another led to financial ruin. That we, as a people, are so spoiled now but how quickly it can spin out of control. There is a delicate balance between everything and even a single person (or their loss) can tip that balance over the edge.

What I really loved was the storyline of suppression. The people from the future are suppressed not only by the leaders that have come with them but also by the rules in which they are to live by. By the end of the novel the yolk of suppression is thrown off completely but then they are saddled with it once again.

The plot was, at time, somewhat messy, but that's expected when dealing with time travel. The ending leads me to believe that there will be a sequel.
