I think I've discovered a huge contender for the Teens' Top Ten here!
Matched is another great dystopian novel. Society has been "perfected": food is allocated appropriately; jobs are decided optimally; only the 100 "best" songs, poems, and works of art have been preserved; disease has been eradicated almost entirely; and citizens are "matched" with their perfect mate. Cassie has been matched with her best friend, Xander. But, a glitch in the system reveals another potential match, Ky. As Cassie starts to question the possible mistake, it forces her to look at their whole way of life...putting herself, her friends, and family all at risk.
So well written, the relationships jump off the page and the tension is palpable. I raced through Matched...and now can't wait until the sequel, Crossed, is released (not until November!!). If you liked The Hunger Games, you'll love Matched.
