I thought about making an RP based on it
I know I pitch a new RP idea every day but 
it could be cute
the concept is basically once you turn 18, you’re sorted by a government algorithm that tells you who you are most compatible with as a partner. you have a dating period. then you’re basically expected to start a “family unit” which basically just means they give you a baby to raise and jobs to work and a house to live in.
in the book the main girl has a crush on another guy outside of her “match” and goes through this journey to uncover what’s on the other side of the wall (the government put up walls bc whatever apocalypse or something idk) and there’s a civilization said to sit behind the wall that’s free of the society’s rules.
so
it would be sort of like that

I think it would be cute to have everyone make characters and attend a “matching ceremony” and I match them into couples based on compatibility and we go from there lmaoo

yeah I think it’s two actually ? everyone gets one boy and one girl
in the book they have “breeders” it’s one of the jobs for people who are “unmatchable” 
or something. like if you don’t get a match you get taken away to become a breeder and make babies for the society

obviously that’s a detail I guess the RP wouldn’t need to have but
it’s to prevent their “valuable” citizens from dying in childbirth

I feel like the idea of forced proximity for matches would be fun
opens up all kinds of possibilities
plus I mean the book is basically about her going to that other civilization to be with her crush and joining the revolution to destroy the society soooooo
maybe I add in some aspects of that too

bc they also have a thing where once you turn 72 or something you have to die
like they give you a pill and you have to die bc you’re a drain on resources or something so they kill you off before you’re too much of a burden to society

My grandma’s like 77٫ and she’s very much still kicking.
Heh٫ I wouldn’t have been born٫ most likely. I was an IVF baby.
Pretend to take the pill.
Even if I was born٫ I’d be an undesirable٫ and I’m probably barren. Welp.

Also sounes like the type of society that would do female genitalia mutilqtion to ensure no children are born before the actual marriage
nah bc it’s ingrained that you don’t really have those kinds of interactions before your match
also people are given pills every morning for breakfast? or like part of breakfast? idk
and I’m 95% one of them has to make everyone infertile. bc there’s no way people aren’t accidentally making babies unless they’re prevented from doing it

I think the babies are lab made and implanted? I’m not sure. there was a section of a chapter on it tho. I’ll have to reread the book
