The cynic in me says this book is [b:The Hunger Games|2767052|The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, #1)|Suzanne Collins|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1447303603s/2767052.jpg|2792775] without the hunger games. I mean, the whole plot of this book is basically a love triangle set in a dystopian society. But even though I had that thought more than once while reading the book, I still liked it. It's not nearly as intense as [b:The Hunger Games|2767052|The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, #1)|Suzanne Collins|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1447303603s/2767052.jpg|2792775], but it was still captivating. The setting and the characters really make this book.
I'm really intrigued by this world. The story isn't set too far in the future--maybe only 3 or 4 generations--and I want to know more about how the world developed into this world that they call the Society.
Ky is a super interesting character. He's secretive, he knows things he's not supposed to know, and he's resistant to the government. I want to know more about him. Xander seems like he could be pretty interesting too, but we didn't really get to know him as well in this book. I hope we learn more about him.
And Cassia...I've been annoyed by characters similar to her in the past, but for whatever reason, she didn't annoy me. Her naive innocence was believable but not infuriating. The only thing that seemed strange to me was the way she was so quick to doubt the Society and her Match. For a girl who seemed to accept everything the Society did and even looked forward to some of the traditions, she quickly seemed to question everything. It just seemed a little out of character to me, but it still worked.
Readers who liked the romance part of [b:The Hunger Games|2767052|The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, #1)|Suzanne Collins|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1447303603s/2767052.jpg|2792775] will definitely like Matched. It's also a surprisingly clean and innocent book for YA, so it would be great for tweens.
