When We Wake by Karen Healey

A book review by Madeline Soucie

Tegan Oglietti lived her first life until 2027 when she was killed by a would-be assassin. But instead of dying, she wakes up a century later, much to her surprise.

    

It's hard to believe at first, especially when the footage is so crappy and could be anyone, but it's her. Life in the future is hard for Tegan to adjust to -- so much has changed. Tegan is supposed to be part of a government project, but she's not exactly on board with that. How could she go from her normal life of playing the guitar with her brother and going to environmental protests with her friends to the future she woke up in? Tegan is faced with the choice to keep her head down and go along with everything or make some big waves.

Reached by Ally Condie

A book review by Madeline Soucie

Reached is the final book in the Matched trilogy. 





In the series, Cassia lives in a society set in the future. Instead of states, there are Provinces and the society knows best, which is why it controls everything. The society tells people who they are "matched" to, when they get married to their "match", when to have kids, and when people die. But at her matching banquet, Cassia is matched to two boys, one of whom isn't supposed to be on the matching list. This puts the thought in Cassia's mind that the society might not be so perfect and she stars to doubt everything she has ever known. 

Read what happens to Cassia in Matched, Crossed, and Reached.
