In this final installment of Matched by Allie Condie, we discover that Ky is being relocated to some random war that came out of no where. Don't worry, Cassia decided now is the time to follow him (??) so she convinced her family to send her to some farm. We're all confused, and we don't understand what's going on.

In this reading of chapters 19 - 26 of Matched by Allie Condie, Cassia is presented with the prisoner's dilemma. Only it isn't much of a dilemma at all, especially considering she has yet to take any action or do literally anything. In this reading, Cassia does realize she's 'in love' with Ky (not Xander) once and for all, and she won't take no for an answer.

In this reading of chapters 13 - 18 of Matched by  Ally Condie, we learn that there's a lot of unexpected sexual tension in this book (but not with who you think). Xander makes an unexpected comeback, becoming the only active, interesting character, while Ky reveals his player ways. Cassia does nothing.

In this reading of Matched by Ally Condie, we cover chapters 3-6. We learn that Cassia had a bonus match who isn't her super-hot friend Xander, and this plants seeds of doubt. She also snitches to her soon-to-be-deceased grandpa all about her hesitation, and it becomes clear he's Not Like Other Grandpas. Will Cassia become the Mockinjay-esque revolutionary nobody asked for??

We're reading Matched by Ally Condie! This is a YA dystopian favorite from the peak 2010 dystopian days. Condie's story follows Cassie as she goes to her matched ceremony, learning that she's been paired with her childhood best friend Xander (lame). Honestly nothing happens.
