Matched by Ally Condie


Cassia lives in a perfect society, where everything such as what you eat, who you marry and even your job are determined by The Society. The match cermony happens on a person's 17th birthday and she is matched with her best friend Xander. Howver, when she goes to read the microchip to learn more about him, someone else's face appears another guy she knows named Ky. After this things start to unravel because she starts questioning The Society. This book reminded me of a modern day Giver by Lois Lowry. I liked the fact that the whole book was told from the point of view of Cassia. Though it had brief moments of action it was very much about Cassias struggling internally with her thoughts and feelings and the consequences of them. I really enjoyed this book, but didn't like the end strictly because it was a to be continued in the next book Crossed, which doesn't come out till November 1 of this year.
