Reunion by Ally Condie

I really enjoyed this book. Much more than the second book in the series. I felt like the author got back to real emotions and I felt the pull I did in the first one, like I had felt those things too. It was a quick and easy read for a cold winter day. Over all I really enjoyed the entire series and would read more of her work in the future.

I went right into this third book after finishing "First Day". This was a shorter book that brought in several characters from the earlier books but also introduced a few new ones. The thing I like best about this series is how real the characters feel and how realistic their situations and decisions seem. I think the author really nails the emotions that a lot of teens and young adults face. From feeling like you don't fit in, to dealing with friends/roommates who make bad choices, to struggling with whether or not to serve a mission. It was definitely an LDS book but didn't feel preachy (at least the least "preachy" of the three books). I loved the humor in it as well -- found myself laughing out loud many times! I will definitely encourage my kids to read these books when they're a bit older.

2.5 stars. I'm halfway between thinking it was just okay and liking it. But it wasn't too bad of a read.
