“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.

16 people are sent to an island mansion, 8 woman and 8 men. 8 celebrates ranging from athletes to adult film stars and the 8 plus ones to find their soul mates. They have put their trust in a computer that matched them to their soul mates in the house. Harlow KNOWS here high school sweet heart Oakley is the one, even after all these years apart she has waited for him. So when he asks her to go on Date, Mate, Fate she believes they will walk out together. What she doesn't count on is how much they have grown apart and all the other drama in the house that pulls them apart. I won't go into the other contestants or if they really are soul mates. But I can say this book had me in the first chapter. I could not put it down and kept saying just one more chapter...until there was no more! So many feels in this book sweet romance, love, lust, greed, jealousy, and most of all doubt. Because just when you think you figured it out and you KNOW the pairs, fate (or a computer) says nope you are wrong! You get to know the characters in this book VERY well and that's the best after reading I felt so happy for my "friends" I made by reading about them. S.e. Hall and Angela Graham did an amazing job at writing this wonderfully amazing super book! You should defiantly buy and read Matched...like now!

Angela knew she found her calling in the world of fiction the moment she began pounding away at the
keys for her first short story in 2012. With a baby on her shoulder, she wrote for about a year before
deciding to try her hand at an actual novel. It was the best decision she ever made and since then she
continues to bring characters to life in her free time.
