Matched Trilogy
Condie was inspired to write the novels after chaperoning a high school dance and considering what would happen if the government devised a perfect algorithm for matching people into romantic pairs. The novels explore young adult themes such as control, courtship, rebellion, and agency which are strengthened by her poetic writing style and frequent references to poems.
