I recommend Crossed. 
 ...too long, I think. The exciting part? the last 100 pages only. 
 Still, thank you Ally Condie, for not letting me down. :)She bends down to kiss him, and his trembling hand reaches for hers, but he can't move it far enough yet. So I lift up his hand and put it on hers. I help him to reach her. For a moment, I'm a part of it all. Then I'm just apart.I've been lenient with this series. Was I caught up with the flowery words of poetry? during a time where Society removes the right to choose? I can allow Crossed to be slow. But Reached? My goodness, I truly resisted the urge to chuck the book across the room (because it was a gift :P)! I'm more than halfway through and I am still at a loss. It was so frustrating. 512 pages is so difficult to finish. 
 There are four parts: The Pilot, The Poet, The Physic, The Plague. The Plague is the essential part of the book. I (almost) got what I came for, reading and finishing Matched series. I found out who put Ky's name in the Matching pool. I realized Xander's strength is far different from Ky's. I now know that the Society and Rising are not so different from each other after all. 
 I liked Xander in Reached. I dismissed him in the earlier installments. I think he more than shined - he was brighter than Cassia (maybe even Ky). I am satisfied on how his story turned out. It was sweet. 
 I loved watching Cassia's and Ky's relationship through Xander's eyes. Without a doubt, their love is deep, silent, yet all consuming. =) I am Team Ky until the end! 
 The science talk in here? Too much. I don't even care about it. You'd think Condie was lecturing me about epidemics and pandemics in a classroom. Boring. Although the concept of the Society and the Rising made me think, and I liked that. 
 I love this series, but I'm pretty sure I'm not up for a reread. Maybe only bits and pieces from each book. Dare I say that I'm glad this series is wrapped up? Yes.
