Summary (from Goodreads): 

What was once the western United States is now home to the Republic, a nation perpetually at war with its neighbors. Born into an elite family in one of the Republic’s wealthiest districts, fifteen-year-old June is a prodigy being groomed for success in the Republic’s highest military circles. Born into the slums, fifteen-year-old Day is the country’s most wanted criminal. But his motives may not be as malicious as they seem.

From very different worlds, June and Day have no reason to cross paths—until the day June’s brother, Metias, is murdered and Day becomes the prime suspect. Caught in the ultimate game of cat and mouse, Day is in a race for his family’s survival, while June seeks to avenge Metias’s death. But in a shocking turn of events, the two uncover the truth of what has really brought them together, and the sinister lengths their country will go to keep its secrets.

Full of nonstop action, suspense, and romance, this novel is sure to move readers as much as it thrills.

Review:
Love it. But the thing about dystopia books is, I always compare them to The Hunger Games. I love Divergent, but when I read it I couldn't help comparing Four and Peeta (yes, yes I know I should've compared Four and Gale.)

Dalam masyarakat ini, Administrator Institusi yang menentukan:
Siapa yang kaucintai.
Di mana kau bekerja.
Kapan ajalmu menjemput.

Selama ini, Cassia selalu memercayai pilihan mereka. Bukan hal yang sulit sebagai balasan atas kehidupan yang panjang, pekerjaan yang sempurna, serta pasangan yang ideal. Dan ketika wajah Xander, sahabatnya, muncul di layar Penentuan Pasangan, Cassia menyadari sepenuhnya bahwa pemuda itulah belahan jiwanya... hingga dia melihat wajah lain berkelebat sebelum layar berubah gelap. Kini Cassia dihadapkan pada pilihan yang mustahil baginya: antara Xander dan Ky, antara satu-satunya kehidupan yang selama ini dikenalnya dan jalan yang belum pernah berani ditempuh siapa pun––antara kesempurnaan dan hasrat.

Pembukaan:
Sudah lama menunggu buku ini diterbitkan oleh GPU, akhirnya terbit juga. :) Hasil pinjam, sih, di rental. Tapi entah kenapa pengen punya bukunya. :p Awalnya mengharapkan ada action, seperti The Hunger Games atau Divergent, apalagi alurnya agak lambat, ya. Tapi ternyata tidak ada. Meskipun begitu, saya gak kecewa, ternyata buku ini juga bagus. :)
