In my review I meant to say The Other Side of the Island by Allegra Goodman, not Once On This Island. Sorry!

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.

I love this book! It is a lot like The Hunger Games, Pretties, and The Giver. My favorite type of book is science fiction with girls living in dystopian worlds. If you like this book you should read Once on this Island by Allegra Goodman or any of the books mentioned above.
this book is interesting :0
love is cool if he loves her back
It's kind of like The Hunger Games, because it is in a whole different kind of world. It's super well thought out, I highly recommend.
I agree too! My friend recommended this book to me because she knew I loved the Hunger Games and other books like that, so I tried I and loved it. Can't wait to read Crossed!

Did you read and enjoy The Giver? If so, this book is for you. It is similar - attempted perfect world - but updated to the times and features a female main character. Also check out the sequels - Crossed and Reached.

I read this book! I didn't know it was about romance but it's still pretty good! I can't wait to read Crossed and Reached! Also, the cover pics are amazing!
