Matched by Allie Condie
In a "perfect"
future society, the government controls absolutely everything. What you eat,
what you wear, who you marry, when you marry, ect. When you're 17 years old,
the society holds a "matching" ceremony for you, an event where they
match you with the person that you will eventually marry. The society uses algorithms
to find your perfect match, it's guaranteed you'll get along great, dating made
easy, right? Not for Cassia. Cassia is both shocked and happy when she finds
out that she's matched with her best friend since childhood, Xander. They give
her a microchip that contains information about Xander that she's supposed to
look at later. But when she does look at it, something extremely strange
happens, something that's never happened before. Instead of Xander's face
showing up on the computer screen, it's a different boy's, a boy Cassia
recognizes as Ky Markham. Cassia is confused, shocked, and worried. A society
Official tells Cassia that it was just a glitch in the system, Ky shouldn't
even be in the matching system, she gives her a new microchip, and says she
should just forget about it. But Cassia is too intrigued by this
"glitch" to pretend like it never happened.
Matched is a great book,
and very unique. It has a great plot with tons of twists and mysteries, and
interesting characters. It's a real page-turner that you can't help but stay up
late reading!
