The relationships tear me in both directions. Is she falling for him? That is the question. But that prince is cute… and sweet… and oh, crap. And I love that America chooses to hold on to Aspen. In the midst of an out of this world game in a dystopian society, a sense of normalcy rises from these two. I love that he likes her enough to be her friend. I have so much respect for America for being upfront and honest with Prince Maxon.
She goes into this game for the money, and the money alone. So he makes her apply, because then he knows she did everything she could and he does not have to feel bad for holding her back. And Aspen does not have the heart to let America do that when she could easily avoid it. She is of higher class than he is, so marrying him means literally marrying down. America applies to be selected because she promises her love, Aspen, that she will. The girls apply, they get selected to be a part of this crazy dating game, there’s girl drama, there’s a handsome prince. I was immediately in love with the idea of this book for that reason. It is one of my favorite TV shows, and Mondays are much less dread-worthy when a season of The Bachelor/Bachelorette is running. I’m just going to throw it out there and say that I LOVE The Bachelor. It took me a long time to finally get to this book, but I really enjoyed it! As always my main points are bolded. I’m always intrigued by books who get received this way, but I’m also leery of them at the same time. If you’ve paid attention to reviews of The Selection in the blog world, you know the kind of love hate relationship people have with this book. 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. Living in a palace that is constantly threatened by violent rebel attacks. Leaving her home to enter a fierce competition for a crown she doesn't want. It means turning her back on her secret love with Aspen, who is a caste below her. To live in a palace and compete for the heart of gorgeous Prince Maxon.īut for America Singer, being Selected is a nightmare. To be swept up in a world of glittering gowns and priceless jewels. The opportunity to escape the life laid out for them since birth. Genres: Dystopia, Romance, Science Fictionįor thirty-five girls, the Selection is the chance of a lifetime.
