When I got a book called THE SELECTION by Kiera Cass, I was expecting a gooey lovesick drama like with most princess stories, but THE SELECTION blew my mind. I read the first page and I was hooked. I couldn't put that book down if you paid me. It was so good. If I were ever asked to choose between $100 and this book, I would choose the book.
I normally don't enjoy princess stories, they're either to sappy or fluffy, but THE SELECTION was gripping, suspenseful, and kept me on the edge of my seat.
I really connected with the her main character, America, she is a smart- ass (and those are just awesome) and it just seems so real. I loved how Kiera explained the history of Ilea, and history facts brought it to life for me.
SELECTION is an I-can't-put-this-book-down kind of read.
I can't wait for the second one!
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.
