I really enjoyed Reached. The plague in this book was a really interesting thing to read about Post-2020. I loved the development of a cure and, honestly, just all the medical things. It could've been more detailed, but it wasn't something I expected from this book, so it didn't bother me that it wasn't. I didn't care much for the romances in this story towards the end. I cared more about the FMC and her family, as well as the politics of a revolution.

This book took a lot of unexpected turns. I thought it was going to (much like the first ones) focus on the romantic relationships among the characters. This one quickly went into the Rising and then had a plague that took up most of the book. It felt a little stale. The story was interesting, but it felt hollow. I also was rooting for her to end up with the other guy. Still a good story. I am interested to see what other books this author has for us in the future.

I thought this was a fitting ending to the series. The concept for the book's overlying truths was fascinating and struck close to home - there are a lot of small details of this book that made it stick with me and linger throughout the day even when I wasn't reading and days later I still think of it often.

Matched was good... Crossed was not... Reached was excellent!
I'm very pleased with this final book in the trilogy. It was much more exciting than Crossed and had a lot more depth than the other books. All in all, I'm very happy with this and I think it did a good job wrapping up most of the loose ends. I love how it referred back to little details in Matched and how those details had such a profound impact on the conclusion of this book.

third part of this YA trilogy. Loved the first one, downhill from there but I'm glad I've read them all. Am I strange in thinking that the Society was a desirable place to live? Maybe!

Awful pacing, couldn’t relate with any of the characters anymore.
The only redeeming quality was the writing. It had so much potential.
And the love interests were so wishy washy wth

The first two were really good, but the third one was too long, kind of slow, and it felt like some pieces were missing.

Me: well, I started this series YEARS ago and found both of the first two books to be kind of meh, BUT with my epic 2020 quest to finish a bunch of series I've started, here we go.
In the end, this one was also kind of meh.
