Cassia has been waiting for her Match Banquet for 17 long years. She can hardly wait to see the face that shows up on the screen as her match for life. When it turns out to be her best friend, Xander, she feels happy. It is unique to be best friends with your soul mate, but at least she knows Xander and would be happy with him. She decides to view his information on the computer, yet it is not only his face that comes up on the screen, but another boy also. Ky, an aberration, that is not supposed to be matchable. Cassia struggles with living under her society's rules that dictate everything from what she eats to who she will marry, what she can read, and ultimately when she will die. This book is excellently paced and Cassia is a very real character. You feel right along with her as she develops her relationship with Ky, yet feels awful about hurting Xander. I get tired of books that do not stand alone, but in this case I find myself hoping for a sequel. I want to know what happens to Cassia, her family, Ky, and Xander. I'm rooting for her to be strong enough to go against her society and exercise her own freedom of choice!
