I will admit at first I was resistant about this book since I've heard mixed reviews about the series. However the book pulled me into the mind of Cassia and wouldn't let me out! Usually I'm not fond of the whole romance and I be triangle things but Ally Condie did it in a way I found it enjoyable. 
 Ky and Xander are to different loves...Xander is the safe choice, Cassia's match, her best friend, he boy who society dictates will be her perfect match. Ky is the mysterious boy from the outer provinces who shouldn't even be a candidate but Cassia shares her secrets with him, secrets that will get her into serious trouble if the soceity knew she had them. 
 The soceity is frightening in the fact they dictate everything your food, job, your spouse and how many children you will have, when you will die, where you live and even what you wear . Too someone whose had freedom and free will this is a frightening possible yet Cassia and her world accept it. 
 It's a good book that gives you a brand new world to explore...a world where things we take for granted are not the peoples God given right.
