The website says: In the society before ours, everyone had technology, too much of it, and the consequences were disastrous. Now, we have the basic technology we need – ports, readers, scribes – and our information intake is much more specific. In the Society, Officials decide. Who you love. Where you work. When you die. Cassia has always trusted their choices. It’s hardly any price to pay for a long life, the perfect job, the ideal mate. So when her best friend appears on the Matching screen, Cassia knows with complete certainty that he is the one… until she sees another face flash for an instant before the screen fades to black. Now Cassia is faced with impossible choices: between Xander and Ky, between the only life she’s known and a path no one else has ever dared follow — between perfection and passion.
These are easy and engaging reads, and the type of books that make you ask yourself “How did they get here?” and “Are we really too far away from this ourselves?” I adored the entire trilogy, but found the ending of Reached a tad disappointing. I was hoping to learn more about what was outside the Society, as I had speculated about it through all three books. I suppose I’m hard to please when it comes to wrapping up a really good book :-)
What’s on your bedside?
