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.

A decent ending to this young adult trilogy.  I won't say it's been my favorite dystopian, but I did enjoy reading it.  After Crossed, I was a little concerned about where the story was going.  I thought it wouldn't be fresh.  I thought it would be too predictable.  Thankfully, Condie infects her writing with so much lyricism and poetry that I didn't mind the predictable parts.  I love the different voices of Ky, Cassia, and Xander.  Three distinct personalities with hopes and fears came out in the separate chapters.  Overall, I think I loved the style of Reached even more than the plot.  I don't usually side with style, but in this case, it leads to a strong finish.
