"5 Stars!!!!!! Unputdownable!! My new favorite book. If YOU love a good dystopian + romance, then you need this book in your life." -- Megan, i fall in love book blog ★★★★★

Eighteen-year-old Seven and her best friend, Ten, live in a world where all is peaceful ... except for the violent war raging above the sky. But there are strict rules and breaking them can have severe consequences.

Seven and Ten have been secretly disobeying the rules for years. They sneak into places where people are forbidden to go. And sometimes, when they're alone together, they allow their bodies to touch, even though touching each other is strictly prohibited.

Every year, on Assignment Day, each eighteen-year-old officially becomes an adult, and the path of their life is laid out by the Decision Makers. Some are given the jobs for which they have shown exceptional aptitude and are "paired" for mating. The others are sent off to fight in The War and never return.

When Assignment Day comes for Seven, the assignments shatter everything she has ever believed. For the first time in her life, she is certain that the Decision Makers have made a terrible mistake.

But the only way to right this wrong is to do something absolutely unthinkable.
