The description from goodreads.com says, "Imagine a society where everything was chosen for you, even the person you will spend the rest of your life with. For Cassia she has never questioned the society that she was born to. She is even pleased that her best friend Xander is chosen to be her ideal mate at her matching ceremony. Everything was perfect, until Cassia saw a brief flash of Ky Markhams face on the screen during her matching ceremony. So was Xander her ideal or was Ky? Now Cassia is doubting everything that the society does. Together with Xander and Ky, Cassia will defy the very structure of her government, and shake the foundations of the very principles that she once believed in."
The blurb of the book sounds awesome, right? But really it is horrible. It is actually one of the worst books I have ever read. The plot was messy, the pace of the book at points were too fast and too slow and it was hard to connect with and understand the book. I mean usually I never hate a book but this one looked so good, the cover was awesome and the blurb just made me want to read the book even more. To be honest I think that the blurb was better than the actual content in the book. I was very disappointed and it felt like the whole book wasn't as thoughtful and enticing as I wanted to be but I can't always get what I want.
If you are interested in reading books about controlling cities I would advise you to read the hunger games or divergent which are, personally, very well written and draws you in from the first sentence. Overall I would give the book 2/5 I would've given it the one if it had a different theme. Maybe you liked the book? But to see if you really like it go and read the book!! This book has taught me never to judge a book by its cover, with an incredible cover the that the story should have been as good as the cover of the book.
See you next week!
