Doug and Judy have both had a secret power all their life. Judy can see every possible future, branching out from each moment like infinite trees. Doug can also see the future, but for him, it's a single, locked-in, inexorable sequence of foreordained events. They can't both be right, but over and over again, they are.
Obviously these are the last two people in the world who should date. So, naturally, they do

Six Months Three Days A TorCom Original eBook Charlie Jane Anders
This love story between two people with the ability to tell the future started off well, but never really got off the ground.Their story became less interesting and more depressing, page by page, until at the end I couldn’t stand the sniveling male character at all.
The ending was supposed to be upbeat, I realize, but all I wanted was to tell the heroine to leave the jerk alone and go on with her life.

Six Months Three Days A TorCom Original eBook Charlie Jane Anders Reviews
A touching, thoughtful, resonant and perfectly paced offering from Anders, who's really an author to watch.
Great fun unraveling the contradictions of precognition. Well drawn characters and settings.
sad and predictable, premise is wonderfull, I guess could elaborate better.
The premise is that the heroes can tell the future. The boy thinks he's fated to act out a sequence of actions, the girl can see multiple futures leading to different endings. From the very first, their love story is overshadowed by the knowledge it will/may end badly. Will the girl have time to convince the boy that he's free to disobey his vision ? Will the boy stubbornly cling to it and refuse a happy ending ? Is the girl deluding herself that she's free ? In the end one wonders if the author is not painting a very realistic picture of optimism vs. pessimism, showing how a purely negative image of the future can be a powerful performative of doom, while optimism allows one to get a second chance at happiness. A very cogent demonstration.
An easy read that will leave you with more questions than you initially realize
Too short to fully understand the purpose of the book
Interesting idea. A brief romance between a precog who can see THE future and one who can see a wide range of possible futures. Fun read. I liked Anders first novel (which this short piece predates by a few years). I look forward to more novels from her in the future.
