Enclave
(Formerly published under the Bloodlines) In the years after a virus wiped out most of the population, humanity was teetering on the brink of extinction and the new governing body enforced a law for survival; at the age of 16, all girls must travel to The Enclave, where they will spend two years producing children to ensure the propagation of the species. 9 generations later, Piper doesn’t want to go. Educated by parents that taught her to read and write, she sees The Enclave as a violation of her rights. Unable to escape her captors, she is plunged into a race against time to uncover the dark secrets and betrayals perpetuated by The Enclave. If she fails, she loses her right to choose the man she loves. This modern dystopian re-imagining of A Handmaid’s Tale explores themes of love, feminism, education and the right to choose.

Wow! What a fantastic read!
The two main characters in this book are so strong and fit together and bring out each other's personality perfectly. From page 1 I was gripped and it didn't let go until I finished it, two days later, and even now I still can't stop thinking about it; the way a good book should make you feel.
The novel is well put together, fast moving, descriptive and one point nearly reduced me to tears (the last battle)! While there is the element of a love story, it is so much more than that and makes you think about things you take for granted like running water, electricity, freedom and the right to make your own choices, I don't wish to spoil the book by telling you what happens so all I'm going to say is I recommend you READ IT ...... but it is your own decision :D

I loved this book! The author has created a well written post apocalyptic/dystopian story!
The governing people do like for the people to be educated. Educated people can pose a threat to their purpose. They have set up a facility, The Enclave, to breed the young to populate the earth.
While she is there Piper discovers some ugly truths about those in power.
