Post Two

I did not enjoy the novel Matched. I thought Alli Condi should have explained the banquet better by not making it the first chapter of the book. She could have explained what it was in the first chapter and then had Cassia's banquet take place in the second chapter. She did not explain the characters and their backgrounds well and it made the novel very confusing. The novel was also very repetitive. Every chapter was the same thing, Ky and Cassia falling in love with each other. This made the novel very boring. In conclusion, Matched lacked excitement therefore I did not like it.
