Books like Matched, along with other mega-popular titles like Suzanne Collins’s The Hunger Games, Veronica Roth’s Divergent, and Kiera Cass’s The Selection, all encouraged young adults to think critically about the societies they live in and to be unafraid when it comes to challenging norms-particularly if those norms are harmful.Īnd although Condie’s latest novel, The Only Girl In Town, may lack many of the overt dystopian elements of her previous work, it certainly sounds as though the same fierce heart and questioning spirit of self-discovery is absolutely present. Most readers probably know Ally Condie as the author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Matched trilogy, a series that played a major role in the rise of dystopian YA fiction in the early 2010s.
