More likely as a possible future than what is described in the Hunger Games or Divergent series. I haven't seen what is "sooooooooo romantic" about it yet. I was disgusted in the first eight pages by the gender stereotypes and hint that children are trained to want nothing more their whole lives than to be partnered with a member of the opposite sex. Then I got further in and realized that this entire Society is controlling the lives of everyone and wanted to scream in terror. If this book does not give you chills of fear in the beginning, I'm disappointed in you as a human being. Cassie is a much more likable female protagonist than many others I've stumbled across, though. I can't say I relate to her, but I don't outright hate her, so that's something.(less)
