Title: Matched
Author: Ally Condie
Year: 2010
Genre: Science Fiction
Age: Middle school and above
Summary: Cassia has always had complete trust in the Society to make decisions for her, but when she is being paired with her ideal mate, a second face flashes on the screen, and Cassia begins to doubt the Society's infallibility as she tries to decide which man she truly loves. (Publisher’s summary)
Review: Condie builds up her weird world subtly and skillfully. This book feels more like a beautiful work of realistic fiction that happens to take place in this Sci Fi world. Cassia is sympathetic and fully rounded. I really identified with her and her plight. Once she starts questioning Society, this book is impossible to put down.
I recommend this book to anyone who likes realistic fiction, but is told they need to read Sci Fi.
