Matched Review


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.

I won this book and was so excited when I got it in the mail. I was going to start reading it right away but I was still reading Entangled so I let my sister borrow it. After she gave it back, I devoured the book. I honestly could not put it down. Cassia's story was intriguing and I must admit at first, the Society seemed like a pretty cool place to live. But as I followed Cassia with Xander and Ky, I realized the true problems with their government. The language was beautiful and I loved that Ally Condie mentioned different poems that really fit well with the book. This is a book I greatly enjoyed and recommend.
