Ah more dystopian YA...right in my wheel-house.
It's an interesting premise - Society is in charge of everything, including your Match. But things go wrong for Cassia and our story is set in motion.
Amazon blurb:
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 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 guess I feel like I didn't get a chance to invest in the characters much - I feel like I should have cared more than I did about what happened to them. It became clear from the start that Cassia would choose Ky and that Ky was hiding more than was apparent. But I didn't feel their relationship develop - and I needed more development to feel invested.
Don't get me wrong, it wasn't a bad book by any means, just not one of my favorite YA dystopian books.
