Matched by Ally Condie (Review #8)

"In the society, officials decide. Who you love. Where you work. When you die. Cassia has always trusted their choices. It's hardly any price to pay for a long life, the perfect job, the ideal mate. So when her best friend appears on the Matching screen, Cassia knows with complete certainty that he is the one... until she sees another face flash for an instant before the screen fades to black. Now Cassia is faced with impossible choices: between Xander and Ky, between the only life she's known and a path no one else has ever dared follow - between perfection and passion." Review: This book was okay. It was like a modern, female version of The Giver with a sprinkle of romance. However, as a firm believer that love triangles are just an excuse to cheat, this one was no exception to my utter disdain. It definitely kept me interested but I don't think I'll finish the series, just because it didn't seem very original. Plus, the Giver was much better.
