This book is really good first of all... i can see why it is so popular, i don't know what it is about this book which makes it so good, but i just can't put it down. it's not like it has this fantastic plot but its amazing.
anyway, the book begins in this dystopian world, where basically your whole like is planned out for you. As soon as you turn seventeen, you can choose whether or not you want to be put in the pool to be matched with someone else in the country. it is basically like the government is picking who you are going to marry. the main character, Cassia, has just turned seventeen so she applies for this and she o her luck is immediately selected to attend a match banquet to meet her match. to her surprise, and basically everyone elses, she is matched with her best friend, Xander. this is a very very very very rare occurrence considering the fact that the whole country is involved in this. usually girls are matched with people in other provinces and what not, but she was not. she takes this news strangely. she kimd of wanted to be like every one else...
with this news she goes to visit her grandfather who is supposed to die the next day. apparently, in the future everyone is made to die at the age of eighty which is kind of cruel... there is also so many other things about this future that are strange. apparently, they thought there was just too many books and poems and paintings and everything. too much history. so a long time ago, they hired a select few to sort out a hundred of each of these things to keep. now they only have that many things to watch and read. how boring of a wold to live in.
