SYNOPSIS: The Selection began with thirty-five girls. Now with the group narrowed down to the six Elite, the competition to win Prince Maxon's heart is fiercer than ever—and America is still struggling to decide where her heart truly lies. Is it with Maxon, who could make her life a fairy tale? Or with her first love, Aspen? America is desperate for more time. But the rest of the Elite know exactly what they want—and America's chance to choose is about to slip away. SYNOPSIS: The time has come for one winner to be crowned. When she was chosen to compete in the Selection, America never dreamed she would find herself anywhere close to the crown—or to Prince Maxon's heart. But as the end of the competition approaches, and the threats outside the palace walls grow more vicious, America realizes just how much she stands to lose—and how hard she'll have to fight for the future she wants. Rating: 4/5 & 5/5
[ screaming for four minutes straight ] I LOVED THIS SERIES! It started out as one of those super basic love stories in a cute fairytale setting, but it became so much more than that, with the problems of the castes and the rebellions and everything! This series is very, very dear to me and it has quickly become one of my favourites. I am super looking forward to reading the two kind-of-epilogue books!! America got on my nerves at times (Oh my god, girl, COMMUNICATE!! If you are worried about something, TALK ABOUT IT!!) and I read in some other reviews that people really disliked her. However, I feel like I understood her so well. You can say it's a terrible thing to leave two boys hanging, but sometimes you can't help how you feel. And especially when one of those boys broke up with you before which makes you insecure, but you have to watch the other boy date other girls, which makes you insecure as well! I think we can all be a little more patient with America, as she tried her best and it's totally understandable that she was confused and insecure. I mean, going from being a Five to being the Queen is daunting, and it's only logical that she was unsure if she was up for the task. And with so many people being against her, I think she was very brave altogether. I loved all the female characters in this series as well. I was afraid it would be a big competition between all the girls and the main character, but there was so much female friendship and loving going on! I loved that! The storyline just kept my attention and I read these books in two days. Even though from the start you kind of know how it's going to end, I was still dying to figure everything out and to find out not only what happens to America, but also to everyone else! I'm sad to say goodbye to this Selection, America and Maxon, but I know they'll come back in small roles in the next two books. I would definitely recommend these books to anyone who's a sucker for a good romance!
