This book reminded me of Hunger Games, not because the plot was similar but because of the way it made me feel - angsty and yet compelled to keep reading. This was definitely darker than Matched, and while it's interesting it also messes with one's head a bit. Luckily the third book in the series hasn't been released yet, so I can get a little distance from the characters and storyline before I decide whether I want to continue reading.
