Cassia has always trusted their choices. It’s barely any price to pay for a long life, the perfect job, the ideal mate. So when her best friend appears on the Matching screen, Cassia knows with complete certainty that he is the one . . . until she sees another face flash for an instant before the screen fades to black. Now Cassia is faced with impossible choices: between Xander and Ky, between the only life she’s known and a path no one else has ever dared follow—between perfection and passion.

Matched is a story for right now and storytelling with the resonance of a classic. 

I have seen so much about this story in the blogosphere and many copies were given out during BEA (so jealous). The cover is absolutely beautiful and captures the premise of this story perfectly - she is trapped in a bubble with no way out. Matched comes out November 30th. Make sure you pre-order your copy today!
