Matched

I finished a great book called "Matched" by Ally Condie. It is mostly a realistic fiction book. I chose this book because it was recommended to me by a teacher. Also a lot of my friends were reading it and said it is a great book.

Cassia (main character) is stuck in a society where everything is a choice the Officials make. The citizens have no affect on the Officials and are not able to change their mind. If the citizens ever try to change anything all they get is a punishment. Cassia, tries to change her life and her future. But, of course the Officials basically rule the society. So, once she gets caught, not only does she get the punishment but also so does her friend that she likes. His name is Ky. She goes along the way trying to survive, hold the secrets, and hold the fear. What she is not realizing is that it is hurting her Match named Xander.

Two things that I liked about the book is that it had a bit romance in it when Cassia was kissing with Xander and Ky. I also liked that it is a book where i can relate it to a persons life where they couldn't control it. The book was easy to understand so i would recommend it to age group 10 or older. A reading level would be 5/10. I would recommend this to anyone who likes reading.
