3/5 ☆☆☆
Only a few paragraphs into Matched by Ally Condie
I got really excited about the story.
I am great a multitasking and I am always either cleaning
or cooking while I am reading,
but WOW
I was so absorbed by this book that I suddenly found myself in my bed wrapped up in a blanket unwilling to separate myself from this story.
Unfortunately though by the time I got to chapter eight I was pretty much
half dead due to boredom
But I pushed through it and realized that it wasn't that bad.
The story is a bit slow paced *eyeroll*
but other than that it's OKAY.
I wish there was a bit more drama in the story and that Cassia wasn't so
dang indecisive about who she wanted to be with
but who knows maybe the next book will be better.
I am really upset though.
I honestly thought that this book would be more than what it was
but all of that put aside the story is really good.
Also if you enjoy this book or have already read it then you might also be interested in reading Delirium by Lauren Oliver, which I also expected more from but do not let my slight dissatisfaction keep you from reading this book. After all there is a reason I gave this book 3 stars.

ORIGINAL SYNOPSIS
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.
