Study hard, do well on your assessment, and you'll be rewarded. The phrase had been repeated throughout Alexandria's life. A person's rank on their assessment test determined everything. Their job, where they lived, and even who they could marry. At least that's what Alexandria thought before she received the results. Alexandria's assessment elevates her to fast-tracker status, but Byron, her best friend turned true love, isn't as lucky. His results sink him to the lowest possible rank and a guaranteed life of hardship and misery. Everything Alexandria believed is a lie. Fast-trackers run the country. Anger one of them and your whole world could fall apart. Anger one of them and the people you love suffer. Disillusioned, Alexandria plunges herself into the fast-tracker's world in hopes of helping Byron. But can she help Byron before she completely loses herself to the allure of their lifestyle?… (more)

Fast-Tracked is a young adult book, with your typical female protagonist separated from the boy she loves through the "infallible" systems of the "perfect" society they live in, where aptitude is everything. Like other books set in somewhat dystopian societies, her eyes are opened to the truth behind how the world actually is. The power games are definitely a highlight, although it does make you wonder about the political machinations in our current society... I believe young adult readers who enjoy books like Divergent would enjoy this book, and the ending does leave you wondering what will come next.
I received Fast-Tracked as a LibraryThing Member Giveaway a few years ago, read it, forgot, read it again, and finally made it back to write a review. ( )

I really enjoyed this book! It was fantastic. I won't lie in the beginning I was a little worried that this was a story we had all read before. It starts a bit slow, but at about 20% I was completely sucked in and actually stayed up the entire night reading the rest of the book in one setting. It was seriously that great! I love that even though this is YA the author doesn't dumb down anything. I feel like a lot of others have a tendency to do that and it is kind of a pet peeve of mine. It can ruin an otherwise great book. However, Rozzlyn isn't not guilty of dumbing anything down. I felt that her subject matter and even her characters thought processes really challenged you to think yourself. I have to say that is quite refreshing. The synopsis above does a great job of describing the book accurately so I won't really do that. What I will do is say... Go pick up this book! You won't regret it. ( )

This review was written for LibraryThing Member Giveaways.
It was an okay book and would be loved by its target audience, young adults. It has an okay story definitely a big room for improvement. I have a problem with Ms. Rozzlynn's heroines. Lexi and the one from "Verita" are excatly alike, the difference is their location. Their attitude, the way they talk, the way they think its like I'mr eading the same book, the only difference is the guys and the setting. All of her books also tends to have love triangles. I've read these story lines a million times already. The book didn't offer anything new. Sorry. ( )

Although it took a little while before I got hooked, once I was I couldn't put the book down! I absolutely loved this novel and will be reading the sequel. A great read for high school students as well as older readers! ( )

Hard to put down young adult science fiction/ fantasy. Alexandria got her golden ticket to the Fast-Tracked life. Elite business people now are the ruling class in future Americal, but when her first love Byron is demoted because of her, Alex must become the kind of person she hates most to save him and his family. Realyl liked this book and can not wait to read the second in the trilogy. A Nice way to spend an afternooon in the sun. ( )
