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.

The society was created when old civilization fell. They decide who you love. Where you work. When you die. When Cassia is matched with her best friend, she couldn't be happier. But when she sees another face on her microcard about her match, what will she do?

This book s about a young teenager nme Cassia Reyes.She always thought that the socitey thattttt choses everything was perfect.Once it was time for her to get her forever lasting matched she starts to rethink that. Once she falls in love with someone thats not her matched, her feeling for the socitey and her match changes. YOU should really read this book, I recommend it.

Cassia Reyes looks so pretty on the cover and is stuck bettween love for two people who she loves. THis is one of my favorite books and i can't wait to read Crossed!

Matched is about a sixteen year old girl named Cassia Reyes whose life is planned out with her having very minimal choices that she will make herself-such as who she will marry, where she will work, and when she will die. In the society that Cassia lives in, they find out who they will marry during the Matching Ceremony, when they are sixteen. The two people Matched together soon meet, then spend the next few years memorizing things about the other, because they are not from the same city. In fact, the first time they see their future spouse is up on a screen during their Matching Ceremony. When she realizes that the boy she is Matched with is from her town, Mapletree Borough, Cassia is overwhelmed with feelings. She is unsure if she wants to be married to someone that she has probably met before, even though they are matched based on their similarities, such as favorite color, favorite recreational activity, and favorite leisure activity. When she is picked to be Matched with her best friend, Xander, Cassia becomes immensely excited. When they turn twenty-one, they will be married! But when she looks at a picture of him on the Matching screen before bed, she sees Xander's face, then the face of a complete stranger…and then a blank screen. When Cassia is faced between the one she knows, who is perfect with her, and the other boy on the screen, who she has never met, but longs for, she is faced with a choice unknown to any other in her society-between perfection and passion.

i have not read this book but I have it at my house. I would love to read this book.

Cassia Reyes a 16-year old girl is destined to be with her match that the society picked for her. After a glitch, Cassia now wonders if her match is really the one. Good romance and storyline. No action really, just love.Good for 11- whatever age.

Wow! Matched is one of my favorite books in the world! I've read the first two in her trilogy so far, and I love them both. Allie Condie makes me feel like I am part of the story, and leaves me thirsty for more of her exciting adventure!
