THEN:
The formation of the UNA, the high threat of eco-terrorism,
the mammoth rates of unemployment and subsequent escape
into a world of virtual reality are things any student can
read about in their 21st century textbooks and part of the
normal background noise to Freya Kallas's life. Until that
world starts to crumble.
NOW: It's
1985. Freya Kallas has just moved across the world and into
a new life. On the outside, she fits in at her new high
school, but Freya feels nothing but removed. Her mother
blames it on the grief over her father's death, but how
does that explain the headaches and why do her memories
feel so foggy? When Freya lays eyes on Garren Lowe, she
can't get him out of her head. She's sure that she knows
him, despite his insistence that they've never met. As Freya
follows her instincts and pushes towards hidden truths,
the two of them unveil a strange and dangerous world where
their days may be numbered. Unsure who to trust, Freya and
Garren go on the run from powerful forces determined to
tear them apart and keep them from discovering the truth
about their shared pasts (and futures), her visions, and
the time and place they really came from. Yesterday will
appeal to fans of James Dashner's The Maze Runner,
Veronica Roth's Divergent, Amy Ryan's Glow,
Laini Taylor's Daughter of Smoke and Bone, and Ally
Condie's Matched.
