"Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly event, originally started by Jill at Breaking the Spine , that highlights upcoming book releases everyone is waiting on...hence the title. This week's pick is The Here and Now by Ann Brashares. Here's the synopsis:
An unforgettable
epic romantic thriller about a girl from the future who might be able
to save the world . . . if she lets go of the one thing she’s found to
hold on to.
Follow the rules. Remember what happened. Never fall in love.
This is the story of seventeen-year-old Prenna James, who immigrated to New York when she was twelve. Except Prenna didn’t come from a different country. She came from a different time—a future where a mosquito-borne illness has mutated into a pandemic, killing millions and leaving the world in ruins.
Prenna and the others who escaped to the present day must follow a strict set of rules: never reveal where they’re from, never interfere with history, and never, ever be intimate with anyone outside their community. Prenna does as she’s told, believing she can help prevent the plague that will one day ravage the earth.
But everything changes when Prenna falls for Ethan Jarves.

You must know that I can't resist a good time travel novel, especially when there is even a hint of romance. This book looks to me like it's got my name written all over it (figuratively speaking of course) and I can't wait to get my hands on it.
The Here and Now is published on 8th April, 2014 with no news of a UK release at present.
