Matched Trilogy

Ally Condie’s interesting and vivid Matched trilogy immerses readers completely on every page. The three-part series starts with Matched, followed by Crossed and finally ends with the finale, Reached. The narrative is filled with twists, and has a gripping plot that puts a truly modern spin to traditional romance. The innovative way in which this story is written is comparable to the uniqueness of Romeo and Juliet, back in Shakespearean days. It has all the likely tropes of young adult dystopia. For the girls, it will be a forbidden romance that instantly intrigues. And for boys, a non-stop thriller packed with uncertainty and risk. The Matched trilogy revolves around the story of a bottled-up, repressed world of a society where decisions regarding who you love, where you work and when you die are decided by the ‘officials’, who are a modern version of a council of village or town elders.
