This is a great review! I love dystopian novels and have read something similar to this in the past. However, this novel appears to have a more mature audience in mind and I love that it includes a twist. I'm looking forward to reading it!

This sounds like a really unique book. I loved the sample and would definitely be interested in reading more. Even though the characters fall in love abnormally quickly, I could attribute that to an oppressive and forceful society where love is not really permitted. It is fascinating and original that the author writes the story from multiple points of view, and there is no one correct way to read the series. I am adding this to my bookshelves!

The book is very interesting though it was against human rights, it sounds like that was the law 'you must marry or get married.'

I'm so over the whole dystopian theme. Also the mature content is irksome at times. Still your review is interesting and thanks.

I really like this romance Novel. The fact that the government chooses whom you will marry once you turn 21 years old makes me remember centuries ago when parents arrange a marriage for their children.Great review!

This book sounds like The Bachelor and The Hunger Games rolled into one. The mature content is a definite turn off for me as well as the lack of a believable plot line. Thanks for the informative review.

Quite an interesting premise with being told who you will marry at 21, and the island to possibly change that. Great review!

This sounds like an interesting storyline, but the quality of the book will really depend on the characters' development. Great review!

After reading the words "romance novel" in the first sentence of the review, I thought - not for me. But the word "dystopia" put my interest back to it. I might read this one.

I love dystopian novels and the storyline is very intriguing. I am planning to read it this weekend itself. Already downloaded the kindle version for free from Amazon India. Good review. Congrats on BOTD!

This dystopian fiction novel where the government forces its citizens into arranged marriages reminds me of a certain country. It's so upsetting that lovers are broken up in such a game show. I hope there's a happy ending since you mention a plot twist, but I probably won't read this book. Thank you for the review.

The idea in this dystopian romance novel is interesting. I'm just curious to find out if those peple marry their agemates, and how those marriages fair on. Thank you for this terrific review!

This theme could have been developed into an interesting series. The time jumps would frustrate me too. You did a great job of presenting the main ideas of the book. Thanks.

Well-constructed dystopian books are my cup of tea. I haven't read the first book, but this one seems just fine. Being forced to marry someone with no chance of a divorce sounds like something we learned very well from history.
