Book Review: Matched

Matched is written Ally Condie, and is you guessed it, another post-apocalyptic book.




Summary:
It is set in a world where Officials decide what the population eats, when they die, what jobs they get and maybe most importantly, whom they marry.
When you live in the society, you get "matched" when you reach fifteen. The person you are matched with is the person you will marry. You can be matched with anyone in the society, so to be matched with someone you know is extremely unlikely. So when Cassia Reyes is matched with her best friend, everyone is shocked.
Cassia is more shocked however, when 2 pictures are flashed on the screen by mistake. Xander, her best friend and Match, and another boy she knows, Ky Markham.
As the story progresses, Cassia has to decide if Ky's picture flashing was a mistake or if he could have been meant to be her match after all.

Profanity:
None.

Violence:
Talk about a boy who was murdered, talk about the fact that people are poisoned to control the population.

Some kissing/hand holding.
