I agree with MonicaJ9, I believe that the theme forbidden love is a huge part of the book and Cassia'a life. She is originally paired with Xander at the Match Banquet and is happy because she and Xander are best friends. She already knows almost everything about him and he lives in her borough which makes it even more convenient for them to see each other unlike the other Matches who have to wait for their arrangements to be made. Once Cassia gets home from the banquet she finds out that the microchip that is supposed to have Xander's picture on it, flashes with Ky's. Cassia knows Ky, and the fact that he is an Aberration, and can never be matched. However, her curiosity leads her to thinking things that can never happen, and when she starts to see Ky more often, they have a connection that cannot be avoided, and she wishes that the Society didn't have to make the rules, not only about relationships, but everything else.
