Matched #2
"Matched", written by Ally Condie was an uprising story. This novel talks about a girl named Cassia and shows how she could have two matches. As time goes on she has to choose between her match at the banquet. Or the match whose face flashed on the screen for a second and went away. Xander her match from the banquet was her best friend and she thought it was right, but since Ky's face came up on the screen she was curious about her feelings about her match. The official who came in contact with Cassia informed her that it was their own mistake about the incident. Cassia agreed and went on about her match with Xander but started to wonder about Ky. As time went on, she started to catch herself starring and falling in love for Ky. When Ky was sent away Cassia had to find him because she was in love with Ky and not Xander. This novel made me want to keep reading until the end. "Matched" was very detailed which formed pictures in your mind. I would recommend this book.

I would like to add to this by saying, that by Cassia having been shown 2 matches is that nothing you know could be absolutely positive. Which is how life is. Cassia thought for sure her match would be with Xander but as the book went on her feelings for her second match, Ky became stronger and realer.
