Reached by: Ally Condie

Book Description: 

Cassia’s journey began with an error, a momentary glitch in the otherwise perfect façade of the Society. After crossing canyons to break free, she waits, silk and paper smuggled against her skin, ready for the final chapter.

The wait is over.

One young woman has raged against those who threaten to keep away what matters most—family, love, choice. Her quiet revolution is about to explode into full-scale rebellion.

With exquisite prose, the emotionally gripping conclusion to the international–bestselling Matched trilogy returns Cassia, Ky, and Xander to the Society to save the one thing they have been denied for so long, the power to choose.

My Thoughts:

WOW! Can I just say that this was a great ending to an amazing series! I love how all throughout this novel you do not know who you are supposed to trust! You do not know who is the bad guy and who is actually trying to help. Sometimes there are people trying to do the right thing but end up looking like a bad person for it, and other times when they seem good but really are just trying to make you think that! SO CONFUSING! BUT... amazing because you are always guessing. 
I did wish that there was more of Ky and Cassia together but that is a very small complaint from me. 
I do not know how I feel about the character Indie though.. I appreciate that when she wants something she is not afraid to go after it but DANG YOU INDIE, you make me mad sometimes! 
And the pilot? and the society? the rising? I hate and love at the same time how they all are like one but not... they are all acting like each other and it is hard to follow but in a good way. 

This novel just really hits the heart at some points and brings you in even deeper when reading. In the race for the cure you really begin to worry about some key people! 
There were really some parts that just took me by surprise! 
All in all, I give this book 4.5 out of 5 stars!

Some Series I Love!

One of the things I love with books are the great series! I love when you get to see a story continue and the characters grow! The only thing I can not stand? THE TIME IN BETWEEN EACH BOOK!
I understand all of the work that goes into writing and publishing a book, I really respect and appreciate it too. BUT... by the time the next book comes out, I usually forget some of the really big points in the book before it.
I know some of you are thinking, "Why don't you just reread the previous books?" My answer to that is, I barely have enough time to get a few books read, and if you saw all of the books I have on my list to read you would totally understand that there is no way I have enough time to reread an entire series again just because I can't remember a few points in the story that I kind of need to remember inorder to understand what is going on in the book that just came out. I know I can go online and look up what happened but it just feels wrong! It is like cheating!
So I guess I will have to suck it up and find the time that I do not have for the series that I love! The other books I want to read will just have to go on hold for a little longer.

Here are some of my favorite book series:

Waiting on Wednesday

Reached (Matched book #3) 

By: Ally Condie
Release date: November 13, 2012

Description:
Cassia faces the ultimate choices in the long-anticipated conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Matched Trilogy

After leaving Society and desperately searching for the Rising—and each other—Cassia and Ky have found what they were looking for, but at the cost of losing each other yet again: Cassia has been assigned to work for the Rising from within Society, while Ky has been stationed outside its borders. But nothing is as predicted, and all too soon the veil lifts and things shift once again.

In this gripping conclusion to the #1 New York Times bestselling Matched Trilogy, Cassia will reconcile the difficulties of challenging a life too confining, seeking a freedom she never dreamed possible, and honoring a love she cannot live without.




My Opinion: I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS! It is so close yet so far! I feel like I have been waiting for this for forever! So happy it is only a few months away!
