Perhaps it's because the field for dystopian fiction is flooded with really wonderful books at the moment, but considering its competition this was pretty middle-of-the-road for me. The premise behind the Society in Matched is basically insane micromanagement; they tell you what you eat, when you die, what your job is and who you marry. The last condition is the one that sets the story in motion when Cassia is finally old enough to attend her own Match Ceremony and meet her future husband. What the plot eventually shapes up to rest upon is a love triangle, which really lacked substance. While one of the boys was Cassia's best friend, her attraction to the other contender is based on a few flimsy interactions, sympathy for his life story and pretty eyes. If it was just a crush, then that'd be one thing...but the idea that someone would actually risk their world for someone they honestly barely know is a pretty immature one (and one I would discourage girls from pursuing). My other peeve with this is that the two boys end up representing different life paths and choices for Cassia in which the option of "none of the above, just go and figure out who you are as an individual" is never discussed. If you can ignore the love triangle's flaws, then the story had some interesting twists and turns to it and posed the requisite philosophical questions that such a government tends to raise: what is the tradeoff between choice and happiness? Would we rather be free or content? How important is our right to choose and make mistakes for ourselves? What should we be willing to risk for freedom?
