The Selection by Kiera Cass

   "The opportunity 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, and leaving her home to enter a fierce competition for a crown she doesn't want.
   Then America meets Prince Maxon. Gradually, she begins to realize that the life she's always dreamed of may not compare to a future she never imagined."

I began reading The Selection thinking that it would be an okay book. I had seen the reviews but the book still interested me and that is why I chose to buy it.

Everyone's opinions are different. Some people will love a book, and I won't like it as much. And vice versa. So quite a few people disliked this book and quite a few people loved this book. I however loved it. It kept surprising me and there were moments when I couldn't put it down.

The story is about America Singer who enters the Selection to win the heart of Prince Maxon, however, America is still in love with Aspen.

In The Selection, you are divided by a caste number. 10 being extremely bad and 1 being royalty. It's odd, but not difficult to understand. There's a lot of rules in this world too. One example being that you cannot marry someone below your caste number. This rule causes a problem for the main character.

So as you can probably guess, there are teams for the readers. Yep. 

Team Maxon or Team Aspen.

I was asked this question: What team am I on?

I like Aspen, but I'm still very unsure of him. Maybe it was his mood swings, I don't know. Maybe it's because he likes to make out a lot. I still don't know. But I like him, and that's all.

 Prince Maxon was just okay at first. As the story progressed with Prince Maxon and America, I began to like him a lot more. I would even feel upset when he went on dates with the other Selected girls. Is that weird?

So as of right now, I am not on a team. I will be reading the The Prince novella right after this, so who knows what that will do to me.

I loved all of the characters, from America's family, to the girls from the Selected. Well, some of them.

I think that to be able to enjoy this book, you can't read it and start judging every little thing. It's just a quick and fun read, and that was how I viewed it.

Also, this book does remind me a lot of the television show, The Bachelor, but with more of a twist.

This book was amazing and I'm already recommending it to people.

This book received a 5 out of 5 stars.
