I liked the story but quickly forgot about it after reading. I feel like it was just too basic. I do still want to read the next book so there’s that. I do want to find out where the author takes us next. I’ve enjoyed the Glitches series by this author so I am hoping the second book is more. It feels to me like a book intended to be a series but the first book was just cut too short.

The Pairings – Ramona Finn
.
.
This book 1 out of 3.
I had an rough start with reading this, it’s a lot of information that comes to you in the first chapters to let you figure out where this is going
I liked reading it, it gave me an bit of divergent vibes but in an different way.
Lora is the main character and an important one.
She got paired with Jarid, but from the beginning she had an feeling that something was wrong…
And how further the story goes, how more intrigued I got.
I had to say that how cute Jarid is, I loved his twin brother Syeth more .

I really liked reading it, it’s not an cliffhanger ending but you need the other two books to know how it will end.

The Pairings is a story about hope of a better future, romance, technology and the fight for independence. In a future were you get paired with your best match, but only if your scoring is high enough, Lore gets matched with Jarid. A Level 1 boy, a dream come true for a Level 3 girl like Lora. What she doesn’t know is that not everything is as it seems in the Rothkind family and that Jarid’s twin brother Syeth might change her look on life. I loved this book and can’t wait to read the next. There is bound to be a lot of fighting in New California and more secrets to discover.
Wow. This was an amazing story; it was amazingly detailed and well written. This would be a great read for fans of the Uglies series and/or the Matched series. It had the same vibe as the Uglies series and some larger themes to the book, though they are definitely not the same. I haven’t read anything other than paranormal books recently and this was like a slap to the head saying, What have you been doing?! The story and the characters draw you in from the beginning and don’t let you go until the end when you just want more. It is fast paced story filled with action, mystery, and intrigue with a bit of romance. The only thing I would’ve liked to see in the book that wasn’t there was more background on the Virus. Can’t wait for the next one!

I really enjoyed this story. Great strong female lead even though at first she can’t really decide which brother she truly wants. It was so different and the characters were so interesting. I could not put the book down until I finished and now I can’t wait to see what happens in New California.

It turns out due to her gift , she was being used…. she never imagined the love she would find along the way and how hard she would have to fight, and the hidden truths she’d uncover. You become immersed in her life, you have to know what happens next. Another great book by Ramona Finn! Can’t wait to read the next one!
