In the Society, Officials decide. Who you love. Where you work. When you die.
Cassia has always trusted the Society to make the right choices for her: what to read, what to watch, what to believe. So when Xander's face appears on-screen at her Matching ceremony, Cassia knows with complete certainty that he is her ideal mate . . . until she sees Ky Markham's face flash for an instant before the screen fades to black.
The Society tells her it's a glitch, a rare malfunction, and that she should focus on the happy life she's destined to lead with Xander. But Cassia can't stop thinking about Ky, and as they slowly fall in love, Cassia begins to doubt the Society's infallibility and is faced with an impossible choice: between Xander and Ky, between the only life she's known and a path that no one else has dared to follow.
Look for the sequel, CROSSED, and the epic series finale, REACHED!
This book was really interesting i felt that it echoed the thoughts of the giver a controlled society where you taught what to do, say and think. They have rules and traditions that must be followed. In this series they focus on the matched process where you are matched with the person they feel you are most compatible with now that would be fine if you had the choice to reject it and move on but you don't once you are matched that it. I really was drawn in with the twist of but what if you were told it could be someone else other then the one they showed you the first time. Would you question all of reality then? A very good start to this series.
