In this third installment of the Matched series, Cassia and Ky thought they found what they were looking for, only to be pushed toward losing one another again.
Having left Society in search of the Rising and Ky, Cassia is a spy now for the Rising and is placed within the Society to perform her duties. Yet Ky is left outside the borders. Unpredictable as it ever was, the veil is lifted and a change of tides begins anew.
Can Cassia reconcile her confined life with doing what is right? Is freedom possible while still honoring a love she might lose again? Find out in Reached, this conclusion to the number one bestselling New York times trilogy.
Ally Condie is an American novelist whose bestselling Matched was published in 2010. The following two books, Crossed, and Reached have also made the New York Times best seller lists for the Children's Chapter Books section. Reached has been optioned by Walt Disney and the foreign rights to this book have been sold to thirty countries. Matched, receiving starred reviews from Kirkus and Publisher's Weekly, was also chosen as one of YALSA's 2011 Teens' Top Ten, named as one of Publisher's Weekly's Best Children's Books of 2010, and was selected as the #1 Pick on the Winter Kid's Indie Next List. Kirkus gave this accolade to the Matched series: "an addictive, layered dystopic trilogy." Originally a teacher of English, Condie received her degree from Brigham Young, a Mormon university. She currently lives in Salt Lake City, Utah with her husband and four children.
"I thought that this was the best book of the trilogy. Ultimately, I like Xander better, but I still enjoy reading about Cassia and Ky. Cassia really blossoms into her own character who is willing to risk it all to be with the people she loves. This was a wonderful ending to a lovely series."
