Crossed by Ally Condie

3.0

I really loved Matched, so I had high hopes for this book. Unfortunately, it wasn't as good as the first one. It seems that this often happens with the second book in triologies. At first the plot moves along quickly, but then it seems to slow down and drag for awhile, and not much gets done. There's several great new characters introduced, and you get to learn a little more about the history of the Society, as well as Ky and Xander's pasts. But overall, it wasn't as strong as Matched. The Society didn't seem to loom as ominously. Still, I'll be reading the final book when it comes out.
