"In the end you can't always choose what to keep. You can only choose how you let it go."
Synopsis:
In the Society, officials decide. Who you love. Where you work. When you die.
Cassia has always trusted their choices. It’s hardly 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.

I first found this book in 6th grade; in one of the book fair catalogs. I had no idea what it was about all I knew was that the cover looked frickin' cool. So after about a month it finally arrived, along with Gamer Girl by Mari Mancusi. And there's how I first discovered Matched.. :)
