In the novel Matched by Ally Condie, Cassia is a young women living in a world where the government runs your life. Cassia is perfectly fine with this concept until they make a mistake during her banquet. At the banquet at which Cassia was to discover her "match", she was surprised to see her best friends face appear on the screen. Xander has known Cassia since they were young and he has secretly loved her for as long as he can remember. The two friends were comfortable together and were happy with the match. Cassia looks at Xander's card of his life and notices a different face. It wasn't Xander that was on the card, It was Ky's face, another friend of hers. Without anyone knowing Cassia must discover who her actual match is Xander or Ky.
