In Amelia Burson's dystopian Los Angeles, your true love is written from the day you are born. The loyal citizens of this society are unable to love until they are ready to search for their match. A locket with a unique symbol is given to a child, and when ready they shall take upon the challenge of finding the person with the same locket. On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must begin their journey to find the person they will devote the rest of their lives to. To Amelia and the rest of society, finding your soulmate is vital: but what happens when another person sneaks their way into your heart, and you just can't resist letting them in? Amelia has to choose between following her heart or staying with the way it's been for years. The new government system has tried so hard to keep things simple in order to let citizens "focus on what is really important in life"-no room for true love and heartbreak. But with love comes complete devotion, and how can you have that with someone you don't even know? 

There is a possibility that she can fight back against the government that held her down for 16 years. Is her happiness that important? Will Amelia risk everything for love?
