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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Ahhh... Time travel *by A***E on Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2014* 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. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting take on time travel *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2015* 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. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/46521015-the-here-and-now](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/46521015-the-here-and-now) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
