Cassia faces the ultimate choices in the long-anticipated conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Matched Trilogy

After leaving Society and desperately searching for the Rising — and each other — Cassia and Ky have found what they were looking for, but at the cost of losing each other yet again: Cassia has been assigned to work for the Rising from within Society, while Ky has been stationed outside its borders. But nothing is as predicted, and all too soon the veil lifts and things shift once again.

In this gripping conclusion to the #1 New York Times bestselling Matched Trilogy, Cassia will reconcile the difficulties of challenging a life too confining, seeking a freedom she never dreamed possible, and honoring a love she cannot live without.

Ally Condie

In a world of rules and quiet rebellion, Ally Condie found her voice by asking one of the most haunting questions in young adult literature: What if the system chose everything for you—including who you love? With her Matched trilogy, she invited readers into a society of eerie perfection, where poetry is contraband and choice is the ultimate act of defiance.

Raised in Cedar City, Utah, Condie didn’t always dream of dystopias. Before her novels landed on bestseller lists and sparked global conversations about autonomy and identity, she was a high school English teacher—something that deeply shaped her intuitive understanding of young minds and their emotional landscapes. Her writing doesn't talk down to teens; it listens. It wonders. It gives space to the questions they’re already asking.

What makes Condie’s work stand apart is its lyrical quietude. Unlike many dystopian tales that rush headlong into chaos, hers breathe. Her characters—especially Cassia in Matched—don’t just fight back with force. They resist with thought, art, love, and the slow, aching process of awakening. Themes of control, memory, and individuality flow gently through prose that often reads like a whisper in a world screaming for order.

While Matched gained international acclaim and was named one of YALSA’s Best Fiction for Young Adults, Condie didn’t stop at dystopia. Her later novels—such as Summerlost and The Last Voyage of Poe Blythe—explore grief, resilience, and the fragile power of hope with the same careful lyricism. There’s a poetic weight to her storytelling, a sensitivity to the small details that make a world feel lived-in and hearts feel real.

Off the page, she’s just as thoughtful. Condie has spoken about the importance of writing for young people in a world that often underestimates them. She once said, “The people who are supposed to be the future are already so present in powerful ways.” Her stories echo that sentiment—quiet revolutions led by those brave enough to feel deeply and ask dangerous questions.

Through shifting genres and evolving landscapes, Ally Condie continues to write with grace, curiosity, and a quiet defiance all her own.

Reached closes the circle on Cassie, Ky and Xander as the rebellion against the Society finally emerges. Condie makes very nice work on describing troubled society and differences between Society and Rising become bit foggy towards the end.
