A recent addition to the dystopian future teen genre, this book has been highly acclaimed by reviewers. And also by other library users...I had to wait several weeks to get my hands on it! It was definitely worth the wait.
Set in a future where the Society controls everything...from what you eat to how much you exercise to who you marry, this book follows 17 year old Cassia's journey as she goes through a whole series of life-changing events surrounding her matching to a childhood friend. Matching is exactly that--a matching of 2 seventeen year olds who are expected to marry at age 21. Cassia's matching is unusual from the very beginning, and Cassia's own behavior, the involvement of other characters, and changes within the Society at large all come together to influence Cassia's worldview.
This book is both romantic and suspenseful, and the ending definitely prepares the way for a sequel. I'd recommend it to Hunger Games fans in a heartbeat!
I really wanted to read this one too! Sounds good!
