Review:

I was told about "The Selection" book by one of my sisters who is as addicted to reading as I am. It didn't take me long to get hooked to this book. As soon as I started I could not put it down. I really loved seeing America to be her true self from beginning to the end. She didn't change her ways to fit in the palace instead she had the palace fit her ways. More than once I felt that it was over for her she was going to get kicked out of the palace for the way she behaved but it didn't happen. The author did a awesome job of keeping it interesting and hooked its readers.

 

The love triangle

In the beginning I wanted America so bad to end up with Aspen but as the story went on I started to like prince Maxon too now I don't know who I want her to end up with. The author did a great job of choosing two different yet good characters. I am hoping in bood two I will know exactly who I would like for her to end up with.
