Matched and Crossed by Ally Condie


SYNOPSIS:  Cassia lives in a future society where too many choices are considered distracting.  Even marriages are arranged based on data about each young adult.  Cassia is matched with her lifelong best friend, but finds herself drawn to another young man she has known all her life, but who is not given the privilege of being matched.

AUNT SHARON'S TAKE:  These books are fun to read.  They prompt some good questions for readers about free will and personal preference.  Sometimes the plot is a little slow going, but I enjoyed the narrative.  I think they would make a good read for a teen or young adult.
