Reached - Ally Condie

Date Started: 9/8/2014
Date Finished: 9/10/2014

Amazon blurb:

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. 


Spoiler (not-spoiler): Cassia ends up with Ky! I bet you never saw that coming! Oh and Xander finds love again with Lei (who, incidentally, was the lost-love of Vick, who died in book 2 while escaping with Ky). The coincidences keep piling up!

The Plague is involved and there's a rush to find a cure and everyone is (of course) integral to this - because of course some 16/17 year olds would be the ones to find the cure, right?!

A fitting conclusion to this series. My reaction = meh.
