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.

This is such a good book. Sometimes, I can actually feel what the character is feeling. No joke.

this book is a peek into the future i can imagine my self living there and how sad and how fun it would be

I loved this trilogy and it's just amazing, it has good writing, strong characters, and a great story line! This is a page turner so get out your flashlight, because your going to read it all night! It's a dystopian novel, so its not real. It's in a futuristic world where everyones lives are already planned out for them. Have a grate time reading it!

my friend said it was the best book she ever read. ive wanto read it ever since then. the library never has it so it must be good

I really liked Matched, then Crossed came out and again I fell in love with Cassia, Xander, and Ky. The love triangle in this book isn't at all romantic they are all just trying to get out of the country in which they live. I also really like the covers to all these books they are so pretty though all the books look like different girls. I cannot wait to read Reached because I feel that the end to the trilogy will be the best book in the series.

Currently I'm in the middle of Crossed and can't stop. You really have to read the first one to understand anything about the Society they live in. Maybe I'll be able to explain better when I finish the series. Another love story.

omg this book is unfair. its unfair because her community cant choose who the want to date or love. its not very nice... its a great book but love is love and you cant change it.
