Goodreads Summary: 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 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.

Thoughts
This was the second time I’ve read such novel that evinced another dystopian story that will purely rivet the minds of its readers. If you have read "The Hunger Games Trilogy" and was enthralled to its unique plot then you have to add "Matched" on your list of must read books this 2011. The book is enveloped of characters with fascinating personalities that comes from different approach. Honestly, I can't wait for the Rebellion to develop because thst will definitely ignite an incredible plot. So to the extent of this review I'm looking forward to read its sequel "Crossed" which will be release this year too!
Love the cover of this. Great review!
