I Can't

I can't Finish it. 

This trilogy is one I can't finish, no matter how hard I try. I'm stuck on page 290 of the last book and I can't start myself back up. This does not mean it's badly written or that this author is a bad writer, it means it's not something I can finish. I loved the first two books with a passion (the first more than the second), and then the last book didn't capture me the way the other two did. It was fairly unfortunate especially since I have a special love for dystopian/rebellion novels, they're so interesting and in a slightly weird way make me want to be a part of it. Shhh it's a secret. Do you want to know what trilogy this is? The Matched Trilogy by Ally Condie. I did really love the first two books. Matched and Crossed, but Reached seemed a little stretched out for me to continue reading it. One thing you may either really like or really not like about this trilogy is how it switches point of views a lot (in second book and third), it's something I particularly see in fan-fiction. I went back and forth with whether I liked or disliked that aspect of the book. I ended up deciding it reveals too many emotions, I like the traditional one point of view track in most books. Another thing I really like about these books are the covers! The covers are done by Theresa M. Evangelista and Samantha Aide, they're spectacular and actually intertwine together perfectly. So congrats to those two. Overall if you enjoy dystopian romances definitely give the series a try and tell me how much you enjoy the trilogy, particularly the last book. Here's the description of the first book:

Cassia has always trusted the Society to make the right choices for her: what to read, what to watch, what to believe. So when Xander's face appears on-screen at her Matching ceremony, Cassia knows he is her ideal mate . . . until she sees Ky Markham's face flash for an instant before the screen fades to black. The Society tells her it's a glitch, a rare malfunction, and that she should focus on the happy life she's destined to lead with Xander. But Cassia can't stop thinking about Ky, and as they slowly fall in love, Cassia begins to doubt the Society's infallibility and is faced with an impossible choice: between Xander and Ky, between the only life she's known and a path that no one else has dared to follow.

Alright that's all I have for this rant!
