Reached

Reached by Ally Condie is the third book of the trilogy Matched. This series is about a girl that is surrounded by troubling obstacles and fate. The society blocks its people off from the outer provinces, keeping them away from secrets that are forbidden. The theme of this book is love and revolution.

Reached, like some other romance books is about a girl starting a journey with love and her life takes a turn to fate. Then, rising above the society starting a revolution to break the system and free the people. Cassia, who was matched with Xander, her childhood friend. But rebels against the system and falls in love with mysterious Ky from the outer provinces they all join the rising to save what they have been forbid of, the power to choose. “The Story of the Pilot” tells about the leader of the rising to rebel against the society.  The pilot, can be anyone of any age. It could even be one of the characters. Cassia, Xander, Ky. Cassia is faced to force the truth of what she wants. True love, or to rebel and break all of the rules to choose who she wants to love. “ but we do find answers in beauty, more often than not” (Condie 507).

I recommend this book to everyone. This intriguing trilogy leaves you wanting more with each chapter. It leaves you asking questions like, do I really know who I love? Will I fight for what I believe in? I strongly suggest this book to all readers. Take time to get to know the story of love, rebellion, and triumph of Cassia, Xander, and Ky.
