Ally Condie Matched

[Giovanni Gelati]

Today, November 30^th is the official release date for this novel. To date I had not had Ally Condie on my radar as an author I had wanted to read, but in the attempt to spread my wings a bit and find new
stuff to read I followed a suggestion from a Goodreads friend and took the ride
with Ally and her strong willed main character Cassia. Here is the situation in
which she finds herself:

” 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 plotline lays some heavy stuff onto our 17 year old main character. I was totally immersed in this and found it hard to lay it down. Condie creates a magnificent microcosm that is hard to imagine or navigate
through without suffering any type of consequences, no easy choices here. I
enjoyed the dialogue, the development of the characters, and the tone and
pacing of the novel. Amazingly for me it is not just another novel where things
are constantly being blown up and people are shot on every other page along
with car or boat chases, yet it is a page turner that is the equal or better than
anything I have read in recent memory. Basically I am hooked, please give me
more, and give it to me soon. I think I have found a reading Match.
