Thoughts:
Yup. I'm pretty late joining the Matched bandwagon. I just read it this year and I haven't even read Crossed yet. I am so behind! Well, in my defense I was a bit reluctant to pick this up after reading the blurb in Goodreads. Purely romance YA books tend to bore me to death but this is good!
I enjoyed it loads more than a certain YA dystopian that shall rename nameless but if you have been following my reviews then you'll probably know.
Likes
The world created by Ally is so vivid and I love how she describes everything in detail so that you can actually feel like you're there. And the love triangle does not leave me nauseous for once so that is pretty good too.
Dislikes
Some of the elements of the book is a bit confusing. Like the sorting thing or what actually happened to Ky's parents. But I guess the mystery is there to draw you further into the story.
Recommended for: YA dystopian fans
Verdict: 4 stars
