A society where everything is decided for you. From what you wear and eat to where you work, who you marry, and when you die.
Cassia is excited and nervous for her Matching Ceremony, taking place on the day she turns seventeen. When the screen stays dark, she is worried she won't be matched with anyone and will be a Single, but it is then announced that her match is her best friend, Xander, who lives just down the street from her. This hasn't happened in many years. Usually, a match is made from another province and the boy and girl don't know each other. When Cassia finally watches her microcard with all of Xander's info on it, something happens she doesn't expect - another boy's face appears. A boy she knows. Ky Markham.
This sets into motion a story full of romance, struggle, and trying to find out what path is the right path. Not just for Cassia, but for all of society.
I really enjoyed this book and can't wait to read the other two in the trilogy!
