Bookroo's summary

In 1996, best friends Josh and Emma stumble upon a Facebook page showing their lives fifteen years ahead. As they explore their future careers, relationships, and more, each refresh changes their destiny. With every click, they must decide if they like what they see or if they need to change their present to alter their future. Can they handle the truth about their lives, or will the knowledge of what's to come tear them apart? Dive into a world where the future is just a click away, and every decision counts.

From the publisher

What if you could see how your life would unfold–just by clicking a button? It’s 1996, and less than half of all American high school students have ever used the Internet. Emma just got her first computer and an America Online CD-ROM. Josh is her best friend. They power up and log on–and discover themselves on Facebook, fifteen years in the future. Everybody wonders what their destiny will be. Josh and Emma are about to find out.
