Cassia Reyes is about to be Matched on her 17th birthday. This is the first step into something she would not expect at all. She has always followed the rules of their society and never doubted the government. That is until she sees Ky Markhams, a fellow friend, not Xander, her Match, face on her datapad that she receives at her Matched ceremony. Since then he has always been on her mind. When her grandfather shows her a poem hidden inside an Artifact, something past down within her family. Little does she know that this poem will help tie Ky and her together.
This has been the second time I have read this book and I have to say, in doing so my hesitation on whether I liked it or not was put to rest. This is such an in depth book and I really loved it this time. Despite the fact that this was a book I needed to read for school it was much more enjoyable. I loved when Cassia became more rebellious and found out more about the government because it made the plot way more intense.

4/5 stars (sorry if this sounds a little cheesy, I'm a bit rusty )
