"Matched" is the first installment of Ally Condie's best selling "Matched" trilogy. While the series, as a whole, has been wildly popular, I just couldn't get into this one. After reading the synopsis, it sounded so promising, as did the first several chapters, but approximately half-way through the story, my interest started to wane. Nothing really seemed to be happening, and the love story between Cassia and Ky, which basically became the entire focus of the story, had no basis or explanation other than "insta-love" to make it believable.
However, despite this, I enjoyed the disturbing post apocalyptic world Condie created. I was both interested and disgusted at different points throughout the book, especially in regards to the storyline of Cassia's grandfather and the society's elder population.
