About This Book

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 with complete certainty that 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.

Why Hunger Games Fans Will Love It

Like The Hunger Games, Matched features a protagonist questioning an oppressive society that controls every aspect of citizens' lives. Cassia's journey from compliance to rebellion mirrors Katniss's awakening, with the added complexity of a love triangle and the power of choice in a world where free will has been eliminated.
