This story was about a young girl who is celebrating her birthday by going to a Matching Banquet. She will be Matched with someone who would be her best choice of mate. She is quite pleased with her match. However, when another boy she knows of ends up being on her matching card as well, after she was already matched, she "wonders". The place in which she lives is very controlled and protective. It seems a bit of a combination of 1984, Equilibrium, and Brave New World in one. However this is overall a love story and about standing up for making your own decisions. It was a very good book and I look forward to reading the next ones in the series when they come out!!!!
