Cassie starts off so naive - and she never gets a harsh teenage edge she just finally decides what she wants and is wiling to take risks. But Ky isn’t from their city, and his past and both of their choices lead to … of course … a sequel that will tell us the rest of the story. He teaches her about creating things instead of just doing things, and he appreciates the secret words that Cassie was given by her grandfather. There is a boy, of course, Ky, who, while not her Match, certainly IS her match. The realization that she doesn’t actually like always being watched and having her choices made for her suddenly makes her world oh so much more complicated. Soon after her Match, however, Cassie begins to see flaws in the society she has been raised to appreciate for its stability. Statistical science is used to predict their every decision, and based on all the data, each person is provided with the person they will marry, the person who is their perfect fit: their match. Cassie lives in a controlled society in which everyone is given absolutely the perfect amount of everything he or she needs. Do you like dystopian stories? Love triangles? Unanswered questions? Matched is a intriguing story that can hang gently next to The Giver in the grand tome of dystopian literature.
