Life is controlled and uncluttered by The Society. "How can we appreciate anything fully when overwhelmed with too much?" Mates are matched and only 100 of the best songs, paintings, stories, and poems have been kept. The rest were eliminated. Cassia and Xander are unusual in that they have known each other as neighbors and friends their entire lives. The announcement of their match meets with great joy and excitement. Cassia has carried her 3 three emergency pills - one red, one blue and one green - to the Matching Banquet in an artifact - a gold compact that had belonged to her great-grandmother. She knows what the blue and green tablets do, but she doesn't know anyone who knows for certain what the red tablet does. Cassia sees The Society that "protects" as dystopian and stifling. She must choose between Xander and Ky, an aberration. What does the red pill do? What happens as result of Cassia's choice?
YA
