Matched

Cassia has always trusted the Society to make the right choices for her: what to read, what to watch, what to believe. So when XanderÕs face appears on-screen at her Matching ceremony, Cassia knows with complete certainty that he is her ideal mate . . . until she sees Ky MarkhamÕs face flash for an instant before the screen fades to black.The Society tells her itÕs a glitch, a rare malfunction, and that she should focus on the happy life sheÕs destined to lead with Xander. But Cassia canÕt stop thinking about Ky, and as they slowly fall in love, Cassia begins to doubt the SocietyÕs infallibility and is faced with an impossible choice: between Xander and Ky, between the only life sheÕs known and a path that no one else has dared to follow.
