Reached

Reached by Ally Condie

This is the final book in the Matched trilogy. My book club has read quite a few trilogies in the last few years, so I have had plenty to compare to! These books are about a future society that pre-determines all about your life - what you eat, who you will marry, when you die... pretty creepy stuff. When the narrator realizes there are other choices and that there is a rebellion rising up against the Society, she begins to question her whole life. One interesting aspect of this society is that they give you pills to make you FORGET when you witness something they don't want you to see... creepy. In this last book, a plague begins to threaten their lives and Cassia is focused on remembering - something in her past may have the key to the cure.

I was definitely attached enough to read all three books, but I would first recommend you read the Delirium or Divergent books. The Matched trilogy falls in the dystopian YA category, but it wasn't my favorite.
