~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I've been waiting for the final installment and here it is before I even know it!! Awaken and Middle Ground had been an amazing and thrilling read. I look forward to reading Still Point

I find the book cover true and simple. It looks like it's telling me the ending will be bittersweet and has an ultimate unexpected plot twist. Just to add on, Still Point is only available in digital format/ebook. Hopefully, a hardcopy will become an option soon. Keeping my fingers crossed!

I recommend you start and catch up reading on the first two books in the trilogy, Awaken and Middle Ground. It's worth your time!

Enjoy and happy reading!

Middle Ground

Author: Katie Kacvinsky

Publisher: Tanglewood Press
Buy online: Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Powell’s Bookstore | Grass Roots Books
Book borrowed from the national library

Synopsis:

In this provocative cautionary tale for teens, the sequel to Awaken, seventeen-year-old Maddie’s rebellion against the digital-only life grows dangerous. Maddie is in Los Angeles, trying to stay out of trouble. But one night, a seemingly small act of defiance lands her in the place she fears the most: a detention center. Here, patients are reprogrammed to accept a digital existence. Maddie is now fighting for her mind, her soul, and her very life. Once again, Katie Kacvinsky paints a disturbing picture of our increasingly technology-based society.

(Actual) Rating: 4 of 5 stars

The protagonist of Middle Ground is astonishingly compelling that I could literally visualize her views, actions and perception into something corporeal. Readers may have felt that enclosed space and mainly focus on the book in its beautifully well-written descriptive writing.
