I loved this book and could not put it down. Fast Tracked takes place in an US where following economic disaster the president took matters into his own hands and closed off the US, made it a self sustaining closed off nation and implemented a type of caste system in which there was at least the illusion of a chance for mobility. At the end of High School you take an assessment test to determine you color level. Alexandria has just taken her assessment and is not learning that all is not as it seems. She becomes fast tracked and soon learns that the assessment may not be the only indicator of what level you should and will be in. I really enjoy the authors writing style and her creativity and imagination in setting up and exploring the workings of this dystopian society which began most of the economic and social situations and attitudes we are currently experiencing in this country.
