Reunion by Ally Condie

5.0

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.
