“Welcome to the beautiful island of Mahé in Seychelles! I’m your host, Tom Peters, and you,” says the man in front of us, spreading his arms out wide, “are the handpicked contestants for the premiere season of Date, Mate, Fate: Celebrity Edition.” He pauses for inserted applause. No, really—a crewman standing off-camera holds up a sign that says, “Insert Applause.”
When the clapping has met the appropriate meter level, Tom continues. “Several faces here, I’m sure you’ll recognize; celebrities from an array of arenas, including sports, the big screen, and even the Olympics have been generous enough to take time from their grueling schedules to join us. And each of them was asked to invite a plus one—anyone—of their choosing, whom we also thank for being here.”
I already feel cramped in my own skin, the endless barrage of cameras and crew filming our every move and reaction in full, intimidating effect. And to top it all off, I’ve just been declared a second-class citizen. Bonus.
I don’t join in on the clapping and whistling; the others’ enthusiasm is far from what I’m feeling. Instead, I burrow deeper into Oakley’s side, shielding my face behind his burly arm and clamping down tighter on his hand. I’m so far removed from my comfort zone, consisting of community college and a job at an off-the-beaten-path truck stop in a Podunk town. But it appears I’ve also landed in a certain circle of hell I’m having trouble comprehending—despite the generous one-week notice.
Matched is a great read. I loved the whole concept of this book. I haven't read anything quite like it. There are eight men and eight women who enter into a reality show. The produces have put everyone information into a computer and everyone's soul mate is in the house. Many of the characters are semi famous. There are professional athletes, porn stars, and actors in the house.
The story is mostly told from Harlow's POV but we get a little bit of everyone's POV when they go into the confessional. She isn't famous but she her boyfriend's plus one. She believes Oakley is her soul mate.
There are 16 people in the house. My first thought was that it was going to be hard keeping everybody straight but I had no problem remembering the characters. Each character has somethings that stands out and make you remember them. There are many part that are funny. They is also that character or two that you love to hate or just plan what to slap.
Matched is a wonderful written story. I was hooked from begging to end. I was a little surprised on who ended up with who.
