"Matched" offers a dose of teen angst and a love triangle. The plot
is typical, yet mild compared with other popular young adult novels.
Author Ally Condie slowly sets the stage for her young adult series
about a dystopian society where, in exchange for a long, disease-free
and peaceful life, citizens follow rigid guidelines that keep them in a
state of ignorance. Unfortunately, Condie also keeps the reader in this
state as well, withholding significant details until the story's end.
-Carolyn Lessard, Huffington Post
Condie’s enthralling and twisty dystopian
plot is well served by her intriguing characters and fine writing. While
the ending is unresolved (the book is first in a trilogy), Cassia’s
metamorphosis is gripping and satisfying.”
“Matched is a wonderful debut with strong, rather than strident, feminist undertones — a primer for young minds encouraged to question.”
