This timey-wimey young adult novel is fast-paced and definitely held my attention, but the time travel elements don't necessarily stand up to close scrutiny. The romantic elements mostly work, and the action and conflict are interesting, but there are enough of the sci-fi elements that don't make entire sense and strain plausibility, which detracts from an overall sense of urgency. 
 I enjoyed The Here and Now, despite the science fiction "lite" vibe and the somewhat heavy-handed political correctness of the central conflict. Still, it's a fun, quick read, good for a day when you're looking for entertainment that's catchy without requiring too much deep thought.
