One of the predominant themes in Matched was love.  As the story began, Cassia was "matched" with her long time best friend, Xander.  In the dystopian society in which she lives, your match is the predetermined partner with whom you will spend the rest of your life.  However, conflict arises when Cassia is shown to have two matches, the second being Ky.  She is torn between her love for the two boys.  To further complicate the matters, Ky is an Aberration, meaning their love is forbidden due to his lack of acceptance by society.
