Summer Book #4

Crossed by Ally Condie

This is the second book in the Matched trilogy I began ages ago, before the TAYSHAS list consumed my reading list.

This book is told from two points of view: Ky and Cassia. If you'll recall, Cassia is a citizen, who was matched to two different boys at her matching ceremony: Ky and Xander. Because Ky is an aberration, and therefore unworthy of a citizen, Xander is most likely Cassia's match. However, she loves them both.

Ky has been banished to the Outer Regions, but he tries to make his way back to Cassia. Cassia, on the other hand, gets herself assigned to a work detail that causes her to end up in the Outer Regions. She finds a friends, Indie, and they cross the Carving to find Ky. This is based on information they receive from a reliable source. Cassia and Ky end up finding each other, but disagree on whether to join the Rising, a rebellion against the Society. Cassia wants to, Ky doesn't.

This was not the most interesting book, but it was an easy read. I knocked it out in a few days' time. I am looking forward to the last book in the series. I am hoping Cassia ends up with Xander. They are more alike, and I feel he is more worthy of her. They have the same goals.
