I would give this 3 1/2 stars if that was an option. It's hard to explain how I feel about this book. I liked it; I did. And I plan on reading the rest of the books in the series. But for some reason it was not as captivating to me as other dystopian novels I've read (like the Divergent and Delirium series). A lot of it seemed repeated, but I also didn't find myself invested in the love story. I don't want to give anything away, but it just progressed a lot differently than I expected, or even hoped for. A friend said I would get into the second book more, so I'm hoping that happens. I really want to love the Matched series, but something is just holding me back.
