Everyone Loves a Good Dystopian Fantasy


Today, my pupils, we will discuss the excellent trilogy by Ally Condie, consisting of the books Matched, Crossed, and Reached. The trilogy is about a young girl called Cassia Reyes, who live in the perfectly controlled world of THE SOCIETY. She is living in perfect harmony with everyone around her, until, at her Matching banquet, two faces appear on the screen, instead of only one. Now she must face the impossible choice, between Xander and Kye, between passion and perfection(Hint:these exact same words are on the inside cover of Matched!).
