In a world where Communities control every aspect of life-from occupation and food portions to who you can marry-seventeen-year-old Rhea has always been the model of obedience, despite the Disobedient brand on her neck. Her future as a leader in Community 215 seems certain, until Brooks, a captured Outsider she impulsively saves from execution, turns her carefully ordered world upside down.
When Brooks reveals that the tests determining their futures are manipulated and the Community leaders maintain control through lies, Rhea is torn between her loyalty to everything she's ever known and the freedom Brooks represents. Their forbidden connection deepens during their mandatory week beyond the Wall, where Rhea discovers what life could be without rules dictating her every move.
But when Brooks betrays her trust by helping Outsiders attack her Community, Rhea flees and finds herself trapped in an even more oppressive settlement ruled by a mysterious figure known only as the Master. As rebellion brews and secrets unravel, Rhea must decide if safety is worth sacrificing freedom-and if she has the courage to challenge the way things are.
In this gripping exploration of control, rebellion, and the human need for connection, two young people from opposite worlds will either find their way back to each other or become pawns in a generations-old war they barely understand.
If you enjoyed The Giver, Delirium, and Matched, you'll love Community 215.
