At least, until Ky showed up and stole my little, fragile heart. He was such a good friend to Cassia and I absolutely devoured their every interaction.

I thought she was a beautifully written character who was so conflicted and just wanted everyone to be happy and live their fairy tale life. I know that some people say she’s boring and not relatable, but I didn’t feel that way at all. I’m not kidding when I say that the very first thing I did after finishing Matched was getting on Amazon to order the other two books.Ĭharacters: Cassia was a beautiful protagonist. I knew why everything mattered to them and it progressed perfectly and it just…it broke me, you guys. It felt more intimate that a lot of other dystopia stories because it was focused on the characters, not the big plot points. Plot: I love dystopia, but this plot felt so fresh. Okay, let’s get slightly more organized than whatever that *points up* was.

I felt for all of the characters and the world was just beautiful and and and. I devoured it in under twenty-four hours and it was just deliciously painful and heartbreaking. Matched is a story for right now and storytelling with the resonance of a classic The Review 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. 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. It’s hardly any price to pay for a long life, the perfect job, the ideal mate.

When you die.Ĭassia has always trusted their choices.
