| Synopsis: | A New York Times bestseller! 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 CROSSED, the sequel to MATCHED, in Fall 2011! |

| Really enjoyed this book a lot. Fun read, quick to get through, suspenseful & romantic enough that you don't want to put it down, thought provoking issues of agency and government influence. So nice to have a clean read that I feel comfortable letting my teen daughters read and know they'll enjoy it! Can't wait for book 2, Crossed, to come out! |
