Day 381: One Hundred Book Challenge, Book Three

TOTALLY thought I had already put this review up here and I went back to look and saw that I hadn't yet. Okay, so as of lately, I've become a hugggggeeeee dystopian literature fan. For those of you who aren't sure what that is, allow me to explain, a dystopian society is one where the government controls basically everything. The Hunger Games? That was an example of a dystopian novel.

Now I don't know why, but I can't get enough of this shit. I have bought every well known dystopian novel there is. I started with Matched by Ally Condie. HOLY SHIT. I could not put this book down. Like, seriously, I almost told people to shut up and come the fuck back later when they were attempting to pay me for their food. I read the whole thing in less than seven hours. It was awesome.

Basically, in this book the government controls everything, from how much you eat a day, to who you marry, how many children you have and when you die. YES WHEN YOU DIE. But that's not the point, the point is, the whole matching process. The main character gets matched with her longterm best friend, Xander. This is an extremely rare occurrence because normally your match is someone in an entire other part of the country, someone you never met in your life. Now this isn't a bad thing, it's not like she can't marry him, it's just rare. Well when she went home to see the data on Xander, because everyone gets this little memory card, basically on all of the shit about your match, we she plugs it in, another boy's face comes up, ANOTHER boy that she knows. But that boy can't be matched, because he is an abberation, basically, he isn't really a citizen, his father did something stupid when he was a kid and he had to bear the title as well because of it.

It basically becomes a love triangle, as most books do, but this one goes the complete opposite direction that you think it will. I loved it. And I was fucking crazy about it and you will be too. I just started reading the sequel and I found out that third doesn't come out until November of this year. THAT'S TOO LONG TO WAIT.

Day 380: THE WEDDING IS ALMOST SIX MONTHS AWAY

HOLY SHIT. We got our wedding invitations yesterday! They are so stinken cute. I need to finalize our guest list. We switched venues because the venue I originally had started treating me like shit and I don't take lightly to being treated like shit, so I decided I don't want to give them any of my hard earned money. ASSHOLES. Besides there are plenty of beautiful places IN Lebanon that are a shitload cheaper. AND I can bring my own food and use my own caterer and no one will give me any stupid bullshit about anything.
