Book #1 of this series sucked me in with a pretty writing style (despite a fairly ho-hum dystopian YA setting). At first, the focus on forbidden poetry was cute and romantic. 
 Matched, however, lost me completely. The poetry focus grew too intense for the story - it was irritating, unrealistic, and felt grossly mismatched with a dystopian setting. Plot felt aimless. Abandoned this series for good.
