Teaser Tuesday: Matched

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:




Grab your current read
Open to a random page
Share two "teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page

BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! Share the title & author, too, so that others can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teaser!


This week my teaser comes from Matched, a YA novel about a forbidden, rebellious love in a futuristic dystopian society, to be published by Penguin in November. I ate it up this past weekend and I'm already eager for the sequel. I liked the book so much that I chose to share two teasers:


Matched
From page 69:
Today is Sunday. It is Grandfather's eightieth birthday, so tonight he will die.

From page 196:
Is falling in love with someone's story the same thing as falling in love with the person himself?

  1. Sounds like his death might not be all that natural!

    My teaser will be up later, once I have decided which book I want to tease from.
