Description

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.

I love how it tackles about the experiences of a woman in how we always encounter things that shouldn't have happened in the first place. I also love how it tackles politics and somehow that the government does not see everything that happens in the society. THEY SHOULD CARE AND FUND FOR THE PEOPLE. WE ALL DESERVE A GOOD GOVERNANCE. Love shouldn't be so rapid... Sometimes, it takes so much time to decide and think, rather to feel the moments you're sharing with another person. Seems like she's toying the two but I'm glad that she's finally realized what was happening among them. I realized that sometimes we just need to pause and reflect. How we shouldn't be swayed by others, but it should come from within us.
