I am a big fan of dystopian fiction. Matched did not let me down!
I didn't feel it rose to the same level as The Hunger Games, but I was intrigued by the plot and thoroughly enjoyed this book.
Cassia lives in a "perfect" society. She is looking forward to the Match Banquet where she will find out who her perfect match for a husband is.
Everything in this society is planned including when you will die, what your education and career training will consist of, etc. Cassia has complete trust in the process and has no reason to doubt what the society determines for her until she is paired with Xander yet just as his face is revealed an aberration in the computer system reveals another face--that of Ky. She knows that Xander is her soul mate. So why does the society change its mind and pair her with Ky?
Cassia is forced to examine whether this "perfect" society really does know what is best for its members.
