Matched by Ally Condie

It all started with me and Camille (my colleague) establishing our own Book Club in the office. We asked some of our friends in the office to join our little club and began recommending novels and TV shows which we can talk about in the office. Of course, only 


Camille and I are the ones who are passionate on this, reading books after books and then switching to TV series for variety. 
And here we are, having our own blog, twitter account and email account under our name: House of C&J.

First attempt at Book Review: Matched By Ally Condie.

In the Society, Officials decide. Who you love. Where you work. When you die.

Cassia has always trusted their choices. It’s hardly 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.

To those who have read The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, this book might have a familiar ring to it.
First, there's the government that seems to control the community and its citizens. Second, there's a hint of a storyline that involves a rebellion against the status quo. And lastly, there's the love triangle that puts the icing on the cake.
The first installment in the Matched Trilogy by Ally Condie is quite lacking in action and excitement as compared to The Hunger Games. It's not as enthralling and exciting as Hunger Games or Catching Fire ......
