Matched

Described by Entertainment Weekly as the most exciting young adult novel to grace bookstores since "The Hunger Games," this captivating New York Times bestseller is a must-read for those who appreciate stories like "1984," "Brave New World," "Black Mirror," and "The Handmaid's Tale." In this dystopian world, Cassia has always believed in the Society's decisions about every aspect of her life—from her reading material to her beliefs. Her confidence seems justified during the Matching ceremony when Xander appears as her designated partner. However, Cassia's world is momentarily shaken when she glimpses another face, that of Ky Markham, just before the screen goes black. The Society assures her it was merely a malfunction, insisting she focus on her future with Xander. Yet, Cassia finds herself drawn to Ky, and as their affection for each other grows, she begins to question the Society's purported perfection. She faces a dilemma that challenges her past certainties: choosing between Xander and Ky and venturing onto a path that breaks away from societal norms. Be sure to follow Cassia’s journey in the sequel "CROSSED," and discover the dramatic conclusion in the series finale, "REACHED!"
