The final volume in the Matched trilogy.  The Rising has begun with an epidemic which mutates into a pandemic. Cassia's sorting ability, Xander's Physic training and Ky's flying skills give them important roles to play.  The trio is separated for much of the book and experience the governmental upheavals in different ways making the short chapters that shift from one person to the other addictive reading as you learn things that the other characters are unaware of in nearly every chapter.
