Wow, this book was slow! I wasn't super impressed with Matched to begin with, but I also didn't hate it and wanted to give Crossed a fair shot. I feel like almost nothing happened! Most of this story consisted of listening to Cassia and Ky's teenage-angsty thoughts in the form of far too much poetry. The writing is set up in a way to make you feel like major secrets and plot twists are being revealed, but it just falls flat. I'm going to give the third book a read just to see if it picks up at all and hopefully it doesn't turn into a DNF.
