Review on Matched by Ally Condie

From the book Jacket:

In the Society, Officials decide. Who you love. Where you work. When you die.

Cassia has always trusted their choices. It’s hardly any price to pay for a long life, the perfect job, the ideal mate. So when her best friend appears on the Matching screen, Cassia knows with complete certainty that he is the one… until she sees another face flash for an instant before the screen fades to black. Now Cassia is faced with impossible choices: between Xander and Ky, between the only life she’s known and a path no one else has ever dared follow — between perfection and passion.

What we think :

Don't judge this book by its thickness, once you pick it up, you will not be able to put it down! You are instantly drawn in to the strange world of The Society, what some would call a  dystopia (an imaginary place where people lead dehumanized and often fearful lives), and are always rooting for Cassia to find her freedom and her true love.  We can't wait to read Crossed-the next book in the series, and let you know what we think.

If you like books like The Giver, The Hunger Games Trilogy, and Wonderstruck, you'll love this series.
