The book I am reading right now is Independent Study by Joelle Charbonneau. It is the second book in this trilogy. It is about a seventeen year old girl named Cia Vale who underwent a brutal Testing; there was love, loss, betrayal, and murder. But thanks to a government-issued memory wipe, she forgets it all and begins her studies at the University. But her bright future is threatened by the past when she begins to have violent nightmares, which are actually memories of what happened during The Testing. These memories cause her to question all that has happened in the past few months, and what is still going on.
The next book I plan to read is the third book of the trilogy, Graduation Day. That is because I really want to know what happens next. Charbonneau ends the book with a cliff hanger, "...I know I will do everything in my power to keep the hope of our country and those who struggled for it alive. And that's when I hear it. The sound of static. A muted voice. It makes me want to cry with relief and fear. 'Cia. Are you there?' Tears threaten as I lift the Communicator out of the bag and answer, 'Yes, I'm here.' I just hope I am ready for what comes next," (Charbonneau, 310). By ending with "I just hope I am ready for what comes next," you want to know what actually will happen next. You wonder how far she will go to do what is right.
Graduation Day looks like a really cool book! The quotes and lines from the book you used show suspenseful and were interesting.
