I really enjoyed Paired. I have a love of YA fiction and this book was really entertaining.

The book follows Annie and Mason through a star crossed lovers/long distance type romance.

After meeting at a wedding Mason realizes who and what Annie is and that she has no idea.

Although Mason lives a privileged old money life in Virginia and Annie unknowingly lives a glamorous life in NYC as the daughter of a famous clothing designer, the two are perfectly paired.

While reading the book I definitely felt like I was a senior in high school again, all the hormonal emotions of young love and jealousy and betrayal came back to me.

All in all a fun read. I can’t wait for the sequel.
