Matched
by Ally Condie
I am a big fan of dystopian fiction, and though I had seen it in the library a thousand times, I had never picked it up. Finally, the cover caught my eye in a charity shop and I picked it up, immediately becoming intrigued.
The story between Cassia and Ky was spun quite beautifully and though it took a while for everything in Cassia's society to be explained, eventually I began to understand the order of things and why Ky was treated the way he was. It was a dystopian world I had never thought of before but the book made it seem plausible.
The love triangle seems to be some sort of theme in dystopian novels and frankly I am becoming bored of them popping up everywhere. But even at that, Xander is sweet and you can't help but like him. Cassia can be irritating flitting between two boys but in a society where you are basically always told what to do and following those orders, you can understand Cassia's confusion.
This book is definitely worth a read..
