"For thirty-five girls, the Selection is the chance of a lifetime. The opportunity to escape the life laid out for them since birth. To be swept up in a world of glittering gowns and priceless jewels. To live in a palace and compete for the heart of gorgeous Prince Maxon.
But for America Singer, being Selected is a nightmare. It means turning her back on her secret love with Aspen, who is a caste below her. Leaving her home to enter a fierce competition for a crown she doesn't want. Living in a palace that is constantly threatened by violent rebel attacks.
Then America meets Prince Maxon. Gradually, she starts to question all the plans she's made for herself--and realizes that the life she's always dreamed of may not compare to a future she never imagined." -Goodreads
Going into The Selection I was a bit wary of it because of all the goodreads drama around it. But decided to just go ahead and read it once I saw it was on sale for kindle. While some things annoyed me tremendously I overall really enjoyed it. But that is probably because anything that might revolve reality tv or a ordinary girl and some super famous person is one of my weaknesses. One thing that really annoyed me though were the names, America Singer and King Clarkson? Really? Even if she went by a nickname it would have been better. And whenever they would mention King Clarkson I would always think of Kelly Clarkson... Fail.
But overall was pretty good if you like these type of books.
4 stars.
