In T2, Furlong plays John Connor, who (for some reason, possibly the hair) is the one person who can save humanity from being annihilated by time-traveling androids in a future nuclear dystopia. Whose stories and ambitions are centered, and whose become the collateral damage of other people’s wish fulfillment. I wanted the book to be about choices: who gets to make them, and who has them taken away. But what if we’re not always in control? When I started writing my debut novel, The Other Me, I knew very little about it except for the main premise: a woman’s fate is altered, suddenly and inexplicably, by forces unknown to her. It suggests we are in control of our own futures, if we have the wisdom to make the right decisions. No fate but what we make -it’s a powerful concept. My celebrity crush faded, and I haven’t experienced most of the other properties in the Terminator universe, but that idea stuck with me. Even if we think we know what’s going to happen, we can always do something to change it. However, in addition to taping his cut-out picture on my bedroom wall next to Joey McIntyre’s, I managed to glean one of the film’s main themes: the future is not set in stone.
This may or may not have been because of then-14-year-old star Edward Furlong’s swoopy hair and YA-hero-worthy brooding (it was). And if she can't figure out what happened on that fateful night, the next change could cost her everything.In junior high, I was mildly obsessed with the movie Terminator 2. The tattoos she had when she was an artist briefly reappear on her skin, she remembers fights with Eric that he says never happened, and her relationships with loved ones both new and familiar seem to change without warning.īut the closer Kelly gets to putting the pieces together, the more her reality seems to shift. In this life, she loves Eric and wants to trust him, but everything she discovers about him-including a connection to a mysterious tech startup-tells her she shouldn't. Racing to get back to her old life, Kelly's search leads only to more questions.
Suddenly her life is unrecognizable: She's got twelve years of the wrong memories in her head and she's married to Eric, a man she barely knew in high school. The next, she opens a door and mysteriously emerges in her Michigan hometown. One minute Kelly’s a free-spirited artist in Chicago going to her best friend’s art show.
