Matched Book Review

Can you imagine letting the government pick your husband/wife?  In Cassia's life, the government controls everything, from her meals, to the clothes she wears, to her career.  She's never thought about questioning it.  Until they make a mistake.  Cassia is matched with an ideal guy, but she's haunted by an "accidental" almost-match.  With thoughts from her grandfather and some help from dead poets, Cassia is left with a tough choice.  Should she trust the life the government has chosen for her or blaze her own path?  Haunting and thought-provoking, read Matched by Ally Condie. 
Check out these poems referenced in the book.
