Matched by Ally Condie

Matched (Matched, #1)

by Ally Condie

Cassia has always trusted the Society to make the right choices for her: what to read, what to watch, what to believe. So when Xander's face appears on-screen at her Matching ceremony, Cassia knows with complete certainty that he is her ideal mate . . . until she sees Ky Markham's face flash for an instant before the screen fades to black.

The Society tells her it's a glitch, a rare malfunction, and that she should focus on the happy life she's destined to lead with Xander. But Cassia can't stop thinking about Ky, and as they slowly fall in love, Cassia begins to doubt the Society's infallibility and is faced with an impossible choice: between Xander and Ky, between the only life she's known and a path that no one else has dared to follow.

Look for CROSSED, the sequel to MATCHED, in Fall 2011!

This book has gotten a whole lot of good reviews, but for me it was a little ho-hum. I caught myself putting it down a lot cause it couldn't hold my interest. It was probably in the last quarter of the book that it finally perked up for me. Though I didn't get totally excited about this book, I can't wait to see what the next one holds, maybe I will like the other books better than this one. Hmmm who knows, we shall see.
