Matched
By Ally Condie
Cassia lives in a world where the
Society decides everything even who she can marry and have children with for
optimum results. In a world where you are told what you can and cannot eat,
where you cannot even run in public Cassia is content but when it comes time to
her own match an error occurs she not only sees the face of her childhood best
friend but also a boy who is a pariah in the Society, Ky, and should never have
been entered into the match. When her grandfather slips her a forbidden poem
from his deathbed and she starts to have feelings for Ky, it accumulates and
she begins to have strange rebellious feelings towards the Society she has
always entrusted.
The perfect Society where you have no
choices whatsoever what would it be like to have your entire life broken down
into statistics and from those statistics you become completely predictable?
What would it be like for someone to be able to find that perfect someone for
you and you never have to wonder about whom you will marry you would never even
have to worry about divorce because they would be absolutely perfect for you. Allie
Condie answers these questions and then brings it to life, yes if you knew
nothing else it would seem perfect but when you get a taste of your own freedom
what would happen. This was a great book it was well written and believable,
you can see yourself in this world and how seemingly perfect it would be. The
romance was beautiful and as Cassia deals with her own conflicted feelings the
author manages to clearly express them so as we feel them too. I can’t wait
until I can read Crossed book two of the Matched series and we can go on
adventure with Cassia that I truly hope will not disappoint.
