Given his lifetime assignment at the Ceremony of Twelve, Jonas becomes the receiver of memories shared by only one other in his community and discovers the terrible truth about the society in which he lives.
This was a really good and fast read. The story was well written and kept a great pace. Would love to know what the "rest of the story" is!
And...I did totally see the similarities between Matched and The Giver in the beginning, but as the story began to take shape it fell away for me. Both were great reads.
