Matched by Allie Condie

If you have read a book called "The Giver", you need to read this book!  You need to read it regardless!! It's a modern version of The Giver with a love story thrown in.  It takes place in a future where everything is about statistics and probability.  Everyone's life is practically planned and mapped out for them.  Who they will marry and when, where they will live, what their job will be, even what day and hour they'll die.  When the main character actually falls in love with someone who is not her match, things begin to get hairy.  The government does not approve.  They do everything in their power to make people forget and punish those who have gone against the grain.  This book was super good and it reminds you how beautiful free choice and free will is.  Look for Crossed, the sequel to Matched to come out soon.
