Matched

Matched was a dystopian themed book and I normally like those kinds of books the most. It wasn't a book that I could connect with the main character personally, but I could understand her emotions and why she felt this dual love. I did think there were some parts that dragged on way too much. Cassia was matched with her friend Xander at her match banquet. One day there was a glitch in the computers and a face of another boy showed up. His name was Ky and he was an Aberration which means he doesn't get matched with anyone. They start talking and she starts to fall in love with him. She loves both Xander and Ky, but in different ways meaning she loves Xander, but in more of a friend/brother way (in my mind). And she loves Ky in relationship terms. I didn't really like the ending, because it felt rushed. I also didn't really like how the author didn't explain Cassia's and Xander's relationship enough. I had trouble connecting with the character because of that. It was almost as if the book dragged along in the wrong areas and was rushed in the more interesting, important parts. I thought this book was better than I thought it was going to be, but it wasn't my favorite book. I do want to read the second of the series because I want to see how her journey to search for Ky goes.
