Description

In a world where the privileged few are enveloped in grandeur and the rest live in the shadows, thirty-five young women are summoned to compete for a crown and a chance at love. The Selection presents an extraordinary opportunity that not only promises a fairy tale life but also potential heartbreak and fierce rivalries. Among them is America Singer, a girl from a humble background who finds herself torn between her feelings for her secret love and the desire for a better future.

As the competition unfolds within the royal palace, the stakes grow higher. Each challenge and event reveals not only the girls' ambitions but also their true selves, forcing America to confront her feelings and the stark divides between social classes. Amidst the glittering gowns and extravagant parties, friendships are tested, alliances are formed, and betrayal lurks in every corner.

The journey is not merely about winning a prince's heart; it delves into the struggles of identity, loyalty, and the cost of aspirations. In a world that demands conformity, America must navigate her own path, leading her to make choices that could change everything, for herself and for the kingdom.

Out of the kindness of my heart I will be giving this book 2 stars. The cover of the book is so damn pretty, but the inside... it's the most predictable storyline ever. This book is like watching a Bachelor season being unfolded. Did I like any of the characters??? Hmmm no not really. I just didn't think that this book was executed that well. Maxon is just so naive and America is just so indecisive. The entire love triangle thing between Aspen, America and Maxon just made me cringe. The whole time I while I was reading it I was like this:

OMG! OMG! I think romance books is the next best thing for me. I absolutely love this series and I am going to read the next book after I finished this review so it might be a quick one.I was team Maxon all along, I do hope she realises aspen is not the one and that he won't treat her right. America as a princess is exactly what I want to happen. ALSO, I DETESTE CELESTE and it rhymes as well. Anyway, got to start read bye!!

Ik vond het vroeger een prachtig boek, nu ben ik er iets minder fan van. Een aantal dingen waren onnodig en obvious, maar toch een leuk boek.
