Allyson Condie
Cassia lives in a perfect world. Society knows what everyone needs to live long happy lives, right down to the exact food serving you receive at each meal. And now that she is 17 she is to discover her match...the person the Officials have determined is best suited for her. To her surprise and delight, they have selected someone she has known and admired much of her life. But when she gets home and downloads the information they have provided her to get to know him better, another face flashes momentarily on the screen...another boy she knows. Suddenly, Cassia begins questioning her what she knows, her trust in the Society, and her place in the world.
This very entertaining science-fiction story is the first in a trilogy. Teen fans of Hunger Games should find this dystopian love triangle a good follow up. Recommended for middle or high school students, though it looks to get darker in further volumes.
