SPOILER WARNING!!!!!

Maddie has reached been able to live with her brother Joe, work on finishing Digital School, currently her only option if she wants to graduate. She is able to spend time with Clare and a couple of her other friends from time to time while waiting for Justin to come back to town. She goes to hang out with her friends to a local club only to find it is a digital club where people interact as if through a video game. Maddie takes the opportunity to override the system to post anti-DS messages. The security guards take her into custody. Only then does Maddie realize that Justin is there and has managed to share the blame for her "prank".

After they escape the club, Justin tells Maddie he loves her and can't live without her. He plans to find a place to rent in LA until she turns 18 and is no longer under "house arrest" at her brother Joe's. He plans to spend as much time with her as possible until then. "Forced" into an intercept, Maddie finds herself in unexpected, serious trouble that results in Joe's betrayal and Maddie's incarceration in the LA Detention Center. She is drugged and forced to fight the reprograming sessions she is forced to attend each week.

Even though her sanity sometimes walked the line, she learns that she can draw on the strength of her memories and love for the people in her face-to-face world. This is especially true of her memories and love for Justin who commits himself to be her rock... her strength when she was fragile. It helps Maddie a lot when she finds a way to meet with all of her friends each week with an additional visit with Justin alone each week. Following her escape from the DC, Maddie finally sees the toll on Justin that her imprisonment and torture caused. He loves her so much that he became a shell of the man he was before her arrest. They only become whole again when they are reunited.

Of course, Maddie can't breathe or feel truly free until she liberates the other prisoners of her DC. Plans are made, logistics covered and the rescue initiated. For the first time, Maddie finds herself thrust into mission leader. With encouragement from Justin, Maddie executes an almost perfect mission. However, Maddie is forced to rely on her experience in an unorthodox mission escape learned from Justin's example. She proves to be more than capable.

The conclusion has Maddie's father offering potential help to close the Detention Centers only if she comes back home and gives up her friends and the love of her life. We are left to wonder what her decision will be.

For the most part, I enjoyed this second installment of the The Awaken trilogy. I found it well written and appreciated the further development of the characters of Maddie and Justin and their relationship. As a reader who has become immersed into their world, it was painful to feel her brother's betrayal and to live through Maddie's time in the DC (Detention Center); although it was interesting to watch her constitution become much stronger.

Maddie demonstrates early on her resistance against the DS in a very public way and she is very unapologetic about it. I felt her empowerment as she experiences it. Justin demonstrates the depth of his love by wanting to have a permanent home as his basis of operations... a home he can share with Maddie. No matter what, he wants to build a life with her. To me, he is beginning to grow as a person and opening his heart to Maddie's unconditional love. Reading about the depth of their connection made me feel their love.

Once Maddie is betrayed by her brother and is incarcerated, Justin made her a top priority. He and her other friends from the resistance focus on gaining access to her... gaining her freedom. To me, this proved how much she is loved, how much she is valued as a friend and lover. Her dedication to the cause of ending DS and the operation of the DCs gives her the determination and strength to stay there long enough to gather evidence of misdeeds. The power of love reunited between Maddie and Justin following her escape proves the detriment each faced while separated. Their angst became my angst. As a good storyteller, Kacvinsky drew me into the world of horrors, love, strength, freedom, and redemption.

I found myself questioning Maddie's father's reasoning in wanting her home knowing that her life would be in more danger there than with Justin and her friends. Afterall, she was only ever betrayed and endangered by her family. I further questioned Maddie's struggle in the end as to whether or not to stay with Justin or to return to her parents after what they put her through. After she fought so hard to reach Justin's heart and gain his commitment to settle down with her (as much as he could while working to change the mandatory of the DS schools), her choice should be clear... especially when the last thing she tells Justin is that she wants to be with him.

Middle Ground Awaken Katie Kacvinsky Books Reviews

Was a gift for a young teen. She loved the book, cheers.
This went in a direction I wasn't expecting, and even though the protagonist spends the majority of the text separated from her friends and in a place you'd imagine would lack in excitement, it's an incredibly engaging second chapter in the series.
Loved, loved, loved this book.........I see that the next book in this series is only coming out on e-reader..... That is wrong. I choose to read paper books. Please see if you can't convince the publisher to also release this third book in paper format also......Thanks
This is one of my favorite series from when I was in college. I really enjoy the plot and the author's writing style. I think some of the ideas in this series especially the idea of being too plugged in are very prevalent now. I guve this a 4 out of 5 stars!
This was an exciting and much anticipated sequel to the first book "Awaken"! I couldn't put it down and once I was finished I wanted to read it over again! It's a wonderful story about the life of a young girl striving for the freedom to experience her life without being controlled by technology! It's a scary look into a possible realistic future and it leaves you contemplating your own life and how you are really "living" it! Fantastic read! Cannot wait for the next book!
I really liked this idea for a dystopian society in the first book, so I decided to try out the second book. There were some minor character development flaws (sometimes they seemed a little predictable or over dramatic), but I was still interested in what was going to happen to them. Really, it's not the best writing, but this dystopian society is leagues above some of the other recent YA dystopians out there.
After waiting for two and half years, the wait is over. Perhaps the wait was too long, but I expected more.

The inevitable happens Maddie ends up in a detention center. Kacvinsky’s version of torture is interesting. You’ll have to read to find out how terrifying it is. As expected Maddie is tortured rehabilitated. I found the rehabilitation process too slow.

In Awaken much of my anxiety came from Maddie and Justin’s relationship. Will they get together? Are they perfect for each other? Should they go their separate ways? Kacvinsky answers this question, so I’m left wondering what is next.

I am hoping she incorporates Gabe, a worker Maddie meets in the rehab center. I found him fascinating and want to know more. Will she give us more?

I feel satisfied but a little annoyed with Middle Ground. I hope the wait is not too long for book number three.
