Reap by Casey L. Bond.

Are you guys starting to notice a pattern yet?  Apparently, Casey L Bond is my recent go -to author for dealing with this Pandemic.  Her stories are well written and engrossing.  The perfect mix of story and romance to get away from the overwhelming reality that is 2020. 

This is the story of Abby.  She is a Lesser who lives and works in the Village of Orchard.  The Lessers are ruled over by the Greaters, and the Greaters benefit from the work of the villages and reap and harvest what the villages provide.  Every year, the Greaters  watch over the harvest, but this year, things are just a little bit different.  Are they only hear for the Apples?

This book felt a little like the Hunger Games meets Matched, but at the same time, is a completely original story.  I love that way that Bond questions what makes a "greater" and a "lesser" and what things really have value.   I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series - there are three books in this one.   4 out of 5 stars.
