Matched by Ally Condie

My review contains spoilers.

Ally Condie, you have now been added to my list of favorite authors! It didn't take me long at all to read this book and I thoroughly enjoyed it. My husband got this book for me as an anniversary gift. He sure did pick a good one.

I have to admit that initially I was a little disappointed about what was taking place in the story. I didn't like the fact that Cassia was falling in love with Ky instead of Xander like she was meant to. However, as I kept reading I learned how true the love was between Ky and Cassia. I think that Xander's character was just more appealing to me in the beginning. He seemed like the perfect guy. In the end, he also proved that. But both of the guys in this story were well built characters and that made it very easy to love them.

This story intrigued me. I was surprised at the sense of compassion I felt while reading it. While I was reading the scene where Cassia chases after Ky as he is being taken by the Officials, I could feel the passion and love that she expressed for him. There was so much emotion in this story which made it difficult to contain my own! Exciting, romantic, suspenseful; this book has it all!
