In a dystopian future where society controls everything, where you live, what you eat, when you get married, who you get married to.  Even your when you Die. No matter what the society tells you to do it’s always right.  Well this trilogy is about Cassia Reyes and her family, her brother Bram Reyes, 

her mother Molly Reyes, and her dad Abran Reyes who live in the Oria Province.  On Cassia’s 17^Th birthday she goes to her matched banquet with her best friend Xander Carrow.

Everyone thought that that Xander and Cassia would be matched ever since they were little since they both seemed so perfect for each other, and people still do.  At matched banquet they ate cake (which you can only have for special occasions like being matched “wink, wink” or your before you die), and had fun.  When the time came for Cassia to be matched she found out who it was and was surprised, and what do you know it’s Xander like everyone predicted. 

Cassia got her chip containing information about Xander, and went home with Xander and their families both of them feel very lucky since it’s rare for friends like them to be matched.  The next couple of days Cassia and Xander spend their days together until one day, Cassia decides to look at Xander’s information card the she got from the matched banquet.  On the card the face is not Xander’s, but someone else.  What she didn’t know is that this one face will change her life, and how she think’s about her society. 

If your interested in what will happen to Cassia and who the person is that will change her life forever, then you should read this book and the other two books in this trilogy Crossed, and Reached. 

I rate this book 5 stars.  

It’s a really good book I hope you decide to read it.
