Dude.
I don't even have words for how this book made me feel. You know how you read something and you can just feel the power? And all these chills are racing down your arms because you know you're in the hands of someone who knows how to use words to spark something? And you know you're never going to go gently because the story has gripped you that much?
Yeah, reading MATCHED is like that.
I could go on and on about the story, but you should just buy and read it. I found it pretty amazing in a "quiet" way. That is in no way a slam--in fact, I wish I could write quietly and have the impact MATCHED has. Sadly, I cannot.
I thought the writing was brilliant. It was the actual way Ally spun the words to create an emotional web that captured me most about MATCHED.
So yeah. Buy it. Read it. Love it. It's out now, and you can get it pretty much anywhere--so go!!
And hey! You could WIN IT right here! Ally lives just a few minutes from me, and I'm attending her book launch on Saturday. So leave a comment here, and you just might get a signed copy you can call your own!
Will you go gently??
