Matched by Ally Condie

In the society, you don't have a choice. The officials decide who you love, what you do, where you work, and when you die. Cassia gets Matched with her best friend, Xander, which is an event that does not occur very often. When she opens Xander's micro card, she doesn't see his face. She knows this person, and might now love him more than she did before. 

Will Cassia live her life lying to Xander, or will she go out and find this person? I recommend this book to people who like adventure, drama, and mystery. This book was filled with so many great literary terms. The author explained it so well that you could imagine the events happening. It as well shows us that it's not always easy to make choices, especially if they are life changing. This book was hard to put down.

Unremembered by Jessica Brody

During the course of this year, I read a book called Unremembered by Jessica Brody. In the beginning of the story, a girl, supposedly named Violet had been found drifting in the Pacific Ocean, where a plane had crashed. When she was found, she was taken to the hospital right away. Everybody thought that she’d been on that plane. But how come she had been the only survivor, with no injuries whatsoever, except that she had lost all her memory and now has amnesia. Violet doesn’t know her name, so everybody calls her “Violet”, because she has purple eyes. 

She also doesn’t know her age, but she was tested and the doctors have proved that she is a 16 year old teenage girl. She doesn’t know who her family is, doesn’t know where she’s from, and she practically doesn’t know anything about the world or herself, but she can speak all sorts of languages, knows how to solve really complicated math problems, and runs faster than… anything! 

While she was in the hospital, the doctors were trying to find out who her family was, but nobody claimed that they knew her. One of the nurses told Violet that some families came in and out saying that they knew her, but when they were interviewed they knew nothing about the LOCKET. So after a while she was sent to live with a foster family, Heather (mom), Scott (dad), and Cody (brother). Something strange that kept happening was that Violet kept seeing this unknown boy who claimed to know her. He started to tell her a lot of things that explained most of the things Violet was questioning. He told her things about the locket, Violet's real name, and he also said that they were in love. 

READ THE BOOK TO FIND OUT! To conclude, I thought that this book was AMAZING. It was great. I loved the entire series! (Unremembered, Unforgotten, and Unchanged). I would totally recommend this book to anybody who likes a little bit of science fiction, mystery, and romance. Overall, I thought that this book was great and that anybody would enjoy it!

To All The Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han

The book To All the Boys I've Loved Before is about a girl named Lara Jean. Lara Jean writes love letters to all the boys she "loved", and when she writes these letters, she doesn’t hold back anything. She pours her heart out to these letters. When she is done she puts the letter in a envelope writes the address and she puts the letters in a teal hatbox her mother gave her. She has wrote at least 5 letters. These letters are supposed to help her move on and not think about the boy she "loves". But somehow her letters got sent; and her whole world turned upside down. 

How does she explain to the boys about her letter? How does she fix this? Read this book if you want to find out. This book has a lot of drama, conflict with her family and her crushes. 

This book is also one of my top 10 young adult books. The book itself is kind of a cliche, predictable. I recommend this book to people who like developing romances, and drama. But I do have to warn you this book uses inappropriate language.
