Cassia has always trusted the Society to make the right choices for her: what to read, what to watch, what to believe. So when Xander's face appears on-screen at her Matching ceremony, Cassia knows with complete certainty that he is her ideal mate . . . until she sees Ky Markham's face flash for an instant before the screen fades to black. The Society tells her it's a glitch, a rare malfunction, and that she should focus on the happy life she's destined to lead with Xander. But Cassia can't stop thinking about Ky, and as they slowly fall in love, Cassia begins to doubt the Society's infallibility and is faced with an impossible choice: between Xander and Ky, between the only life she's known and a path that no one else has dared to follow.Look for CROSSED, the sequel to MATCHED, in Fall 2011!Watch a Video

"A fun start to a fun series!"

Jonathan Kent

"So much potential but just fell short."

"Good lord, this book was a roller-coaster. I've never appreciated my freedom of speech so much. "

Mrs. Fred Weasley

"I liked it but not that good of a romance "

"I am not usually a fan of dystopian stories, but this one was very intriguing. The idea of freedom of choice vs predestination and the use of science and math separate from emotion to determine the best life for people as a whole is fascinating and thought provoking. I look forward to the second one. "

Erin Hinkes

"It reads like a typical YA book, love triangles and the main character being the chosen one to break down the society. It is still enjoyable then most of the ones I've read. "

"I was not impressed with this book. It’s decent but doesn’t really live up to the hype that I had heard about it Edit: I read this book a few months ago and I literally don’t recall a single thing. Thats how unmemorable it was"
