All this week, we’re going retro here at Novel Novice and featuring our favorite things from the 1990s. Or rather, we’re featuring Jay Asher’s and Carolyn Mackler’s favorite things from the ’90s, as we get ready for the Nov. 21st release of their novel The Future of Us, which takes place in 1996.
Today, we asked Jay and Carolyn about their favorite fads of the ’90s (styles, fashions, technology, etc.). Here’s what they had to say:
Jay Asher:
Carolyn Mackler:

Everybody wonders what their Destiny will be. Josh and Emma are about to find out.
