Synopsis:
Cassia has always trusted the Society to make the right choices for her: what to read, what to watch, what to believe. So when Xander's face appears on-screen at her Matching ceremony, Cassia knows with complete certainty that he is her ideal mate... until she sees Ky Markham's face flash for an instant before the screen fades to black.
The Society tells her it's a glitch, a rare malfunction, and that she should focus on the happy life she's destined to lead with Xander. But Cassia can't stop thinking about Ky, and as they slowly fall in love, Cassia begins to doubt the Society's infallibility and is faced with an impossible choice: between Xander and Ky, between the only life she's known and a path that no one else has dared to follow.

Cherene - I hope you don't mind that I posted the book synopsis. Thought it might be helpful for people that might consider joining. :)
I'm not sure if I'll be able to join, but I did just get the book. Hopefully, I'll be able to get to it. I'd love to discuss it with you guys.

Hi Heather! Yes. The buddy reads are just books that you can read and discuss with others if you want to. There is a suggestion thread if you want to ask if anyone would like to read a book with you and a calendar of reads. Feel free to just jump in on any buddy read. They are open to everyone.

I'm 90% through, so gonna wait until I finish (which I'm sure will be tomorrow) to post my thoughts.
Because the book world is now full of them Rida! :) However at least this one as all of them published.
I liked it but I didn't love it. I liked story concept and the characters but it felt a little detached and cold.
