In Ally Condie's bestselling "Crossed," Cassia and Ky navigate a dystopian desert landscape through alternating perspectives. This poetic second installment of the Matched trilogy captivated YA readers with its mental mystery and emotional depth, despite its deliberately slower-paced journey through the Outer Provinces.

In a society where algorithms determine your perfect match, what happens when your heart rebels? This question haunts Cassia Reyes as she navigates the treacherous landscape of the Carving-a vast network of canyons representing both danger and freedom. The pristine facade of the Society crumbles at its edges, particularly in the Outer Provinces where Ky Markham has been sent as a disposable decoy. Here, Aberrations like Ky are placed in elaborate fake villages-complete with empty houses and artificial smoke from chimneys-all to draw fire from an unnamed Enemy while protecting the Society's real settlements. The deception runs deep: maps are falsified, deaths are documented as "natural causes," and young people deemed expendable are sacrificed without ceremony. While Citizens in central provinces receive elaborate end-of-life rituals and tissue preservation promising potential immortality, Aberrations like Ky are denied even basic death rites. In quiet resistance, Ky transforms this disposal into remembrance, whispering Tennyson's "Crossing the Bar" as a eulogy for each body committed to the river. Poetry becomes his weapon against systematic dehumanization-each verse declaring these lives mattered. Three months have passed since Cassia was separated from Ky, and her determination has only intensified. Working in labor camps in Tana Province, she strategically positions herself for an eventual escape to find him. Cassia's inner world has transformed-Ky's absence has become "a missing so complete that if it were to go away, I would turn around, stunned, to see that the room is empty after all."
