Matched by Ally Condie

Matched is a spectacular book! It is full of compelling characters, that will leave you with provocative questions. There is depth and deep meaning in this dystopian society created by Condie. The storyline is well developed and captivating. Society is in deep control by the government and everything appears perfect until small changes begin to take place as a rebellion builds. The romance is sweet, young and innocent. If you loved " The Hunger Games" trilogy, you will adore, Matched. This promises to be a spectacular trilogy. Crossed is set to come out November 1st of this year! 

Grade: A 

 Synopsis [B&N} 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
