My favorite book is Matched by Ally Condie. There are two sequels to this book which include Crossed and Reached. This is the first book in the Matched series. It was published in 2011 by Penguin Young Readers Group. Ally Condie received a degree from Brigham Young University. She spent many years teaching high school English in Utah and upstate New York. I believe the intended audience is teenagers. The main theme of this story is love versus society. Cassia has always trusted the society’s choices for her life. For example, the society decides what you eat, what you wear, where you go. Also, they control who you marry. They attend a matching ceremony after their seventeenth birthdays. The night of the banquet arrives and she waits patiently
