Review Detail

When I picked up Matched, I was so excited to finally get to read it. I was hoping that I would love it and wasn't so excited that I would set myself up for disappointment. Turns out, I loved it!

I found myself drawn into Cassia's world, and I what I loved about this story is that it revolved around Cassia's inner journey to make her own decisions and not just a bunch of terrifying, Society events. It's not often that I get outwardly emotional while reading a book but found myself getting a little misty eyed during the scenes with Cassia and her grandfather.

The sequel, Crossed, just recently was released and I'm looking forward to seeing how this trilogy continues. If you're a fan of the dystopian genre, and haven't read this, I encourage you to pick it up. It doesn't move quite as fast as other books in this genre might, and it isn't an "action" type of story either. What I mean is, don't pick this book up thinking it's going to be just like the Hunger Games, because it isn't. I think this trilogy has it's own solid place in the dystopian genre.
