“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we are eagerly awaiting.
This week’s much anticipated release is:
By: Ally Condie
Pub. Date: 11/30/2010
Summary (from Goodreads): In the Society, Officials decide. Who you love. Where you work. When you die.
Cassia has always trusted their choices. It’s barely any price to pay for a long life, the perfect job, the ideal mate. So when her best friend appears on the Matching screen, Cassia knows with complete certainty that he is the one . . . until she sees another face flash for an instant before the screen fades to black. Now Cassia is faced with impossible choices: between Xander and Ky, between the only life she’s known and a path no one else has ever dared follow—between perfection and passion.
Matched is a story for right now and storytelling with the resonance of a classic.
I have been waiting for this one since the first time I read a review on it, and the closer the release date gets, the more excited I am. Plus, the cover is beautiful. How can resist a girl in a green bubble?
What are you waiting on?
I really liked Matched and now I am anxious for the sequel. Too bad it will be a long wait. Hope you enjoy this, and then you too will be waiting for the sequel.
ReplyDeleteI want that girls dress. haha. I wonder if it's a plastic bubble? Anyways! I'm waiting on this one too. it sounds pretty exciting! Great pick!

Definitely can't wait for this one either!!!! I just love me some dystopian lit. :)
ReplyDeleteThis societal restriction vs choice is a common theme of late: Nightshade comes to mind. I wonder if it is a reaction to something currently going on?
