It's February, and on Valentine's Day, I will be reading.
"Matched" by Ally Condie took me two days to read. It was amazing, and I'm pleased to say that there will be a sequel coming out in November. There is something strange about that book, though. After reading it I got a feeling of emptiness inside. It ended on a sad note, and I will not reveal much more. For all of you who have never heard of "Matched", it is a love story about a girl named Cassia who lives in a futuristic society where everything is planned out for you, from your meals to your death date. Even the person you fall in love with is picked for you, and for Cassia her "Match" just happens to be her best friend Xander.
Overall,
Matched was a fantastic love story unlike any other. It was quite refreshing to have a story that broke the boundaries of the typical love story, with feelings that were purposely conducted by the Society, or the government-type leaders. Those artificially made feelings felt as real as any other ones, though, and it was a laughing-crying trip throughout the book.
It is a book that cannot be missed out on.
Read it, and love it.
Signed,
Victoria.
