review 1: I really liked this book. I am naturally a fan of dystopias, but the use of the poetry and art really turned this book into something more. It not only showed the emotions of the characters, but it brought the emotions of literature to light and that made it different.Also I enjoyed the message of how love can not be controlled. No emotion can. That i beleieve is the point and having a perfect society is just not achievable, no matter how hard you try because one person will always stick out. This book was powerful in that.
review 2: i don't get this book or the whole trilogy actually.I'm sorry for the author but i think this book defines boring to the extreme. The whole set-up should be more exciting but it seems to me that the author has other things in mind ... morewhen she writes these books. I don't think she had a good feel about the present day readers.The first part of the story is about a girl being matched by their government to another guy. That guy should be unknown to her but it turned out to be her friend(who i thought she had liked but as the story progresses, i was very much wrong). Out of nowhere, this girl started liking another boy after she saw his face on some gadget that the government had given to her. The next events depicts how she had started to like this other boy and so forth. After that, the story becomes too dull for me to proceed. Or maybe, the problem is how the author writes the story. I wish it could have been written livelier. If it was, everything could have been better. This is definitely not the right book for me. I'm not usually a picky reader (i even enjoy classics unlike most YAs nowadays) but this book is just too much for me.ps. for curiosity sake, i scanned the subsequent novels (i know this is a bad habit of mine) and the story had become duller, if that was even possible especially on the second novel...:-( less

I was pulled in right away when I saw this book. The beautiful cover art and intriguing synopsis invited me to read. Needless to say I was thinking it would be enjoyable at the least.I was wrong.Both the cover and the synopsis were misleading. This book was painfully boring. Hardly anything happened... After about 60+ pages in, I stopped. And you may believe that my review doesn't stand, because I didn't read the whole thing, but to that I say this: if a book doesn't have my interest at all, a quarter of the way through, it hasn't done its job.I do not recommend this book and I do not plan on continuing this series.

Imagine Match.com meets The Giver and you basically have this story. When teenage Cassia is matched up with her childhood friend as her future husband, she is thrilled. Until she sees another familiar face as her future husband. What would you have done if you found out that everything you thought you knew about your lifestyle and the people that are there to keep you safe was all a lie? Follow Cassia on her journey to the life she thought she wanted and the life she finds herself leaning towards.

I'll go ahead and read the other books in the series.
