I think that it was very well written and I can see why Disney has purchased the rights for the film adaptation. Even though at the moment, the majority of the books I am reading are in the YA category and these are indeed the ones I most enjoy reading, I have noticed that YA novels (especially from the dystopian genre as this one is) are not as poetically elaborated as books like "Warm Bodies" and this one were. I actually finished it in one sitting. The events in the story unfold at a very quick pace, which I love in a book because it keeps me entertained and fully engaged. Although many people have described this novel as being very original, I kind of found it to be very similar to "Farenheight 451"! I was actually very intrigued about the death process for the elderly in this society, which reminded me somewhat about the culture of the Eskimos. After you finish reading this novel, you can check a little reference of this and get a sense of what I am talking about: [...].. The story is set within a dystopian world in which your choice about everything has been taken away from you. Even in matters of the heart you must marry whom the society has chosen for you, hence the name of the novel, "Matched". The female protagonist (Cassia) is matched with two individuals though, and she must decide which path to take. The only thing I am going to say about this is that the love triangle in this story is complicated even for me as a reader. I think it is the first time I experience my soul being played tug of war with. I felt like my heart was being torn in two as I read about each of the male characters, because they were both so freaking awesome that by the end of the book I was just resigned to the two of them. So Cassia, do all of us a favor and just marry both please! I give it five stars and I would definitely recommend this book to all YA and dystopian novel lovers! Book 2: Well done Ally Condie! This second installment was even better than the first! There was a more profound description of the characters and of the world itself, with the introduction of new concepts like the "reclassification". I loved the new way in which the story was narrated, now not only by Cassia, but from Ky's perspective as well. And I must clarify that although I love Ky, I am Team Xander! Book 3: Oh my goodness! Reached was amazing! All I am going to say about the ending is that it is a happy one! Although I wish she would have ended with the boy I loved! Oh well, at least she was consistent. There was so much poetry in this novel, that I had a hard time choosing which phrase I loved the most, but in the end I am going to stay with: "Anna embraces them both, and for a moment they are a little family, three generations, connected not by blood but by journeys and farewells". The reason why I loved this phrase so much is because I completely agree with the fact that many times there will be people in our lives that are more dear, special and important in to us than our family simply because of all the experiences that we may share with them. One thing I did not like about this book though, were the kisses between the characters and others that were not their true loves. I felt that there was a lot of cheating and although in a sense this is a realistic portrayal of teenage love experiences since it is a time in which they are still adventuring and discovering themselves sexually and romantically, it was not realistic in the portrayal of the reactions of the characters that were cheated on. I mean puh-lease! Who can say that in their teenage years or in any other stage of their lives were cheated on and then reacted with understanding instead of anger or jealousy! Bull-#$%^! Either way, this was my favorite novel! Ally Condie made me fall in love with both male protagonists in such a way that every time I felt like I was leaning more toward any one of them, she would make the other one do or say something that would make me empathize with him! So yes, my heart was ripped in two by both Xander and Ky. In the end though, Xander won the battle! <3 Also, there were many things that I was able to predict from the beginning of the Trilogy. Like for example, Matched at least to me, was very similar to the Hunger Games in the sense that both sides of the war seemed to be using the characters. I also seemed to have a feeling that her grandfather and her (Cassia), had more to do with the rising and the matching of her with two boys than they realized. But for this you will have to read the book because I will not give it away! Once again I must say that I truly cannot wait to see this trilogy on screen! I think it will play out beautifully! Review: πŸ₯°πŸ₯° - This book series was the first series that got me into reading when I was in middle school now being in my 20s being obsessed with reading with my own bookshelf to display books. I needed to buy this series and read it again. I still love it like it was the first time I’m reading it.

I needed to buy this series and read it again. I still love it like it was the first time I’m reading it. It’s so underrated ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ First book pulls you in 2 and 3 are really good but the first is my favorite *by J***D on August 28, 2013* I really loved this book series. My sister started it by getting the first one on reserve at the library and passed it around since she had it for three weeks and wanted her daughter and me and our other sister to see what we thought. We all read Matched in under 24 hours, it is a page turner and hard to put down. I wanted to know what happened in Crossed and Reached so bad that I came on Amazon and bought this set. Crossed and Reached are set up to be from more than one perspective so you have to read the chapter heading to know who you're reading about or it is easy to get confused. Sometimes that made it hard for me to really get into those two books, but the story is compelling and I liked the characters and the multiple perspectives. I particularly liked a female lead character that was proactive about things instead of just reactive. There were moments of simple reaction to her "love triangle" but I didn't feel like she was just letting things happen to her and was really trying to weigh her choices along with the feelings of her head and her heart. There were some good twists and the imagery of the dystopian society was well thought out and delivered. Ally Condie is a excellent writer and things flowed well and were well written, unlike many YA novels that seem to play down the intelligence of those reading them by trying to get away with poor writing. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/232813-matched-trilogy-box-set](https://www.desertcart.at/products/232813-matched-trilogy-box-set) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
