In Matched, did you enjoy ...

... a society where love is strictly controlled?

Delirium by Lauren Oliver

If you loved following Cassia as she navigates forbidden emotions and questions a tightly regulated society in Matched, you'll be drawn into Lena's world in Delirium. Here, love is considered a disease, and Lena faces heart-wrenching choices as she discovers the dangers and beauty of feeling deeply. The driving force of escaping societal confines and seeking autonomy will resonate with you.

... a protagonist's journey toward self-discovery and bravery?

Divergent by Veronica Roth

If you appreciated Cassia's personal transformation and growing independence in Matched, you'll enjoy following Tris in Divergent as she challenges societal expectations and discovers her own strengths. Watching Tris evolve from uncertainty to courage mirrors Cassia's journey of self-realization and rebellion.

... questioning a seemingly perfect but controlled world?

The Giver by Lois Lowry

If the controlled, emotionally regulated world of Matched intrigued you, The Giver offers a similarly compelling society where conformity and the suppression of choice are central. Jonas's dawning awareness and quest for truth will captivate you just as Cassia's awakening did.

... a forbidden romance set against a backdrop of rebellion?

Legend by Marie Lu

If you were captivated by Cassia and Ky's forbidden connection in Matched, you'll be hooked by the dynamic between June and Day in Legend. Their romance unfolds in a tense, high-stakes environment, offering both heart and suspense as they challenge the system and each other.

... finding hope and meaning in a broken world?

Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel

If you valued the thread of hope and resilience that runs through Cassia's story in Matched, you'll appreciate the optimism and beauty found in Station Eleven. Despite a post-apocalyptic setting, the characters strive for connection and meaning, offering a moving and uplifting narrative.
