Talking About the Book "Matched" by Ally Connie
I just finished reading Matched a little while ago. I immediately had to get the next book Crossed on my iPad with my library card. Libraries are awesome, use their services and support them! K, random library support aside, you can imagine that I enjoyed this book. Just to give you some context, this book has been around a while, since 2011 to be exact. It was one I've always meant to read but kept choosing other titles first. I finally decided this was the year I would read it, and I'm so glad I did. ******SPOILERS***** The story of Matched is about a seemingly utopian society. Everyone's needs are provided, they are told what jobs they will do based on assessments of each person's likes and capabilities, and even their partners are chosen for them based on correlating data for the best possible outcome. Overall, people's lives are pretty good. The main character, Cassia has had a good life, good friends, and not much reason to question the system that exists....
