So when she sees her best friend’s, Xander's, face on the screen at her Match Banquet she knows he was the right choice...until she sees Ky Markham’s face on her microcard the next morning. The Officials have said it was a mistake,but Cassia wants to know if it really was? Now she has to make the impossible decision between Ky and Xander.
Condie creates an image that sticks with you the whole way through. Each chapter has its own story while still making sense with the whole book. Like the Hunger Games, you will not be able to put this book down. This book, and the other in its series, is a must read.
