About this ebook
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The “superb” (Wall Street Journal) second book in the internationally bestselling dystopian Matched trilogy continues Cassia’s story and her relentless quest for freedom.
“Intriguing.”—Entertainment Weekly
“Steered by characters who break the rules, form new alliances, and commit to surprising paths.”—Shelf Awareness
In search of a future that may not exist and faced with the decision of who to share it with, Cassia journeys to the Outer Provinces in pursuit of Ky—taken by the Society to his certain death—only to find that he has escaped, leaving a series of clues in his wake.
Cassia's quest leads her to question much of what she holds dear, even as she finds glimmers of a different life across the border. But as Cassia becomes resolved about her future with Ky, an invitation for rebellion, an unexpected betrayal, and a surprise visit from Xander—who may hold the key to the uprising and to Cassia's heart—changes the game once again.
Nothing is as expected on the edge of Society, where crosses and double crosses make the path more twisted than ever.

I enjoyed "Crossed"--there were some good moments of suspense and the love triangle between Cassia, Xander and Ky grows more tangled. I do have to say though, there were some elements of the story that were very muddled, and I didn't find them convincing enough to read closely and even try to figure out. Put the society elements from "Hunger Games" in a blender, along with 1984, and you get some weirdo elements that make up Condie's Society vs. Rising descriptions. Somewhat contrived, while also being a little too confusing to make it as streamlined as the Hunger Games trilogy. I'm still excited for the next book, and enough has kept me interested to see exactly how the story will unfold.

I really have to say especially how much I spent on these books the ending sucked so badly. It like it just totally dropped off. Worst ending ever. Could of been more suspense, action, detail. But its more of love story then survibg or dystopia type ....disappointed
