Pre-Release Review - Expected Publication Date: Apr 8 2014 
 From Anna Brashares (who brought us The Traveling Pants) we have a new YA novel, typically centered around a young female protagonist. Also typically, theres a romantic element, and a post-apocalyptic note. 
 These really are getting tiresomely common. 
 Still, Brashares has the skills. So onward we go. It's not the most original plot-line, but it's one that is as likely as not to be fresh to the adolescent readers this novel is targeted at. Time travel and the GrandFather Paradox can be so badly mishandled, but again, the author pulls it off well. 
 The only thing I can really hold against it is that it's fairly short and that well, this IS a really old riff and nothing new seems to be added to the mix. There's nothing wrong with vamping on a classic, but with this simplistic a tale, I can only class "The Here And Now" as a mediocre read that will probably be best enjoyed by existing fans of the author's work.
