is this book Anything groundbreaking? No. But is it worth reading? COMPLETELY YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. This dystopian fiction is such a great book. I love it so much! However, one problem I have is that for some reasonCassia has to NOT be in the rising? Maybe the book is not clear about it, but I'm pretty sure it said what it meant. Other than that, this book is amazing👍

It was better than the first book, and I did enjoy it but I still think it’s kind of dumb. I liked it though, honestly, and I enjoyed how the main characters took others on their journeys with them.

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.

still very quickly readable : in a day!
i honestly think that this book deserves a special rating between a 3.75 and 4, knowing that I rated the first a 3.75 and that this one is better but not a 4 (I hope it’s clear)
way more adventurous and has more « mystery » and suspense to it than the first one, I am definitely ready to read the third book of this trilogy and waiting for all of my answers being answered in it
even though this one did answer some, it’s logical for them all not to be answered at once because it’s a trilogy, duh!
still a fantasy-dystopian-romantic book with the girl having to chose between to guys, this series is still perfect after book hangovers!
