Matched by: Allie 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.

ceremony. Something unexpected happens and error in the system and her
curiosity and concern about what happen lead her to find out there are
somethings that are not meant to be. Her search for the truth and what

Matched is a great dystopian novel. A world carefully thought through. I loved the details of the world and envisioned it clearly.
