They can’t be friends, though, not in their world. Trace and Piren were Assigned to other people at the age of six, and they’re supposed to marry their Partners when they turn twenty-four. Failure to comply leads to Banishment, a fate worse than death.
Worse still is the growing realization that their bond is stronger than just friendship.
In a world without freedom, there are still choices to be made. Following their hearts means losing their family, but following the law means losing each other.
Forever.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I wasn't sure about this story at first. there's a lot left unsaid that made it slightly difficult for me to get into what was happening, as much as I'd have liked, but later on more was revealed to help my overall understanding.
This story takes place in the (possibly near) future, though it was hard to confirm that at first. I felt it crucial to my reading for me to know this to better understand some of what's said.
Despite that, I think the main theme of the story is fairly upfront and strong. If the writing was only slightly less vague, I think I'd have enjoyed the story that much more. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I'm a little loss for words... This book took a turn I didn't expect, even though it broke my heart it made the book better. Different. I never expected Blaine's secrets to be what they were. I can't breathe thinking about it!
Maddie is swept up and moved to a new country by her mom. Her mom has some serious issues and Maddie has had to grow up fast to take care of her. With that being said, you can tell her mom loves her. And I think she moves them to America for them both. Anyways, her mom's old friend, Trudy, lives in California with her wealthy husband and has told Annie(Maddie's mom) that she will help them. My heart hurt when reading all that Maddie went through with her mom and school. I loved Lori though! An Jason! They helped add some humor in the story at the right time.
Blaine. Oh, Blaine. I don't even know where to begin with him. I don't want to give anything away so I will leave his story up to you to find out. It's unexpected though! The way he is with Maddie is great! Well when he's not being a dick. Again, you will have to see :)
Aside from trying to figure out some of the English terms, I really enjoyed this story. I laughed, I cried, and I smiled.
"We're like two missing pieces of the same broken puzzle,lish. I've always felt hollow- incomplete. But when we're together everything makes sense. Everything just... fits,you know? You're it for me, Maddie. You're my missing piece."
