Matched

I recommend that everyone read this book. It starts out with a girl, Cassia, who is about to be "matched", or have her husband selected for her. All of the youth that are of age have their names put into a "pool" and then two by two the names are selected and matched up...and the couple is made. They have been Matched. Cassia is surprised to find that she has been Matched with a boy she knows, and has known since childhood. At first she thinks the Match is perfect, but then she finds that being forced into things isn't something she is comfortable with, and she starts fighting against the Officials. She finds that she has strength to go against everything she has ever known...and not "go gently".
