FOOT: Pleasure Reading "Matched"

So I decided after reading Bo's blog that I wanted to read the book Matched by Ally Condie.


After reading it, I really enjoyed it and I think it would be a good book to suggest to students who might be interested in dystopian fiction.

Here is how the book jacket describes the story:

"In the Society, Officials decide. Who you love. Where you work. When you die.

Cassia has always trusted their choices. It’s hardly any price to pay for a long life, the perfect job, the ideal mate. So when her best friend appears on the Matching screen, Cassia knows with complete certainty that he is the one… until she sees another face flash for an instant before the screen fades to black. Now Cassia is faced with impossible choices: between Xander and Ky, between the only life she’s known and a path no one else has ever dared follow — between perfection and passion."

If you are interested in listening to an excerpt of the book you can check that out HERE.

The only thing that really bugged me was the ending! It is kind of a cliffhanger ending and it makes me anxious to find out what is going to happen next!
