Goodreads summary: In the Society, Officials decide. Who you love. Where you work. When you die.
Cassia has always trusted their choices. It’s barely any price to pay for a long life, the perfect job, the ideal mate. So when her best friend appears on the Matching screen, Cassia knows with complete certainty that he is the one . . . until she sees another face flash for an instant before the screen fades to black. Now Cassia is faced with impossible choices: between Xander and Ky, between the only life she’s known and a path no one else has ever dared follow—between perfection and passion.
Matched is a story for right now and storytelling with the resonance of a classic.
Why I want this: I love dystopian fiction - it, along with fantasy, is my favorite genre. When I saw the summary, I knew this was a must-read. Matched looks fresh and amazing!! The cover is also very pretty, meaningful, and simple; I love the image of the girl trapped in the bubble, which corresponds metaphorically to the summary. Aggh November is so far away! I cannot wait...I'm going to go on a rampage for an ARC :)
I have this sitting in my TBR pile. I'm SUPER excited to start it. <3
