This was one of those books where even though I wanted to read it, and have been waiting to read it, I have been distracted by other books, and I end up forgetting what happened in the first book. It's hard to keep all of these characters and details straight, especially with all the different books I read. I was able to get into Crossed though, and I really did enjoy it. Good job Ally Condie! I really want to read Reached as well, and since it's coming out pretty soon hopefully I'll be able to read it soon enough that the events of Crossed don't fade from my mind. 
 On another note: the covers! I really liked the cover of Matched, and Crossed and Reached have quite good covers as well.
