Matched (Matched #1)
by Ally Condie
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.

I am going to read some of it this weekend
I'm going to read some of it tonight
I had absolutely forgotten about this :/ I have the book but can't find time to read it. Has anyone begun yet?
I have not bad so far it sort of reminds me of Kat Nissan relationship with Gayle (Cassia and Xander ) I'm still in the beginning it's hard to tell how things will go.
Olea wrote: "I am reading matched right now it's really good"Yes so far im enjoying it. Almost ready for book 2 what do you like most about it
I'm still on the first book. The society is almost too perfect that it has to be fake. Would anyone want to live in a world like that?
that what I was thinking it's so perfect too perfect that you think it shouldn't be dystopian, but then you realize it's not realistic which makes it even more dystopian lol
I got to the part in Matched where Cassia's Dad lost the tissue sample of Grandpa, but I have a question where they going to use the sample to bring Grandpa back from the dead? And if they are doesn't that mean that the society is kinda like playing God? And isn't that a bit wrong?
I think they may be mentally trying to preserve him not wanting to lose him. like it's unfair that they can just set up a law to end someone life at 80 not letting them pass naturally if that makes sense
Which of the male characters do you like best Ky or Xander? And why? Me, I like them both. But if I had to chose just one I would go with Ky. He reminds of the saying a around peg in a square hole. Ky knows what he is and what the society is, and as much as the society tries to make him fit, he wouldn't fit perfectly. I like that, I like people, who maybe not so much rebel against the world around, but maybe can't be pigeonholed so neatly into certain categories that a society places them in? If that makes sense?
