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.
My thoughts:
You know what, I thought it would be worse. I mean it still got those cringe worthy and eye rolling moments, but the story was fun :)
First America Singer *eye roll*
King Clarkson *eye roll*
8 castes *eye roll*
A reality show where the prince finds a bride *eyeroll*
Budding love triangle, sigh
But it was fun. America gets chosen. She does not wanna be there. Maxon is friendly. She misses her boyfriend. Other girls are bitches. And she is even friendly to servants! Omg. And there is danger around as rebels want something, but the world is not really explored so whatever. But I could do with crappy worldbuilding cos it was interesting. I even want to know what happens next. The whole love triangle bit. And if the country will fall apart.
Like I said, I do wonder how it all will end.
