I have to say, the 'Matched' Trilogy is not at all what I
expected. I thought it was going to be one of those typical love triangles, you
know, the heroin of the story all helpless caught between loving two incredibly
hot, amazing guys trying to figure out who she’s really in love with until; A)
she finally picks one.
B) One of the guys ends up dead.
Or C) both of the guys finally come to their senses figuring
out that no one is worth this much hurt, betrayal, and jealousy, moving on and
the chick becoming an old hag living in the deepest part of a forest by a swamp
with the occasional campers sitting around a camp fire telling stories about
her. (Which I got to admit, does'nt happen often).
The amazing part is none of
that happened. Sure when the second guy (Ky) came into play she was confused,
but who wouldn’t be? But as soon as Cassia realized who she was in love with,
there was no uncertainty, no wavering. Cassia is a heroin I can respect. When
she wants something and believes in it, she doesn’t give up. I’m going to be
completely honest with you, I was not going to read this series. From the
sounds of other reviews, this series was a mixture of ‘The Hunger Games’ and
Divergent’ since its another dystopian series. I’m so glad I gave it a chance.
This trilogy was great and had blown all of my doubts away.
This story line has love,
adventure, rebellion, and its about having the courage to not only, believing in
your own abilities, but doing the impossible no matter how scary it maybe. I recommend
this book to anyone who’s in search of those qualities. Look for ‘Matched’ ‘Crossed’
and ‘Reached’ and tell me what you think.
