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 the palace and compete for the heart of the 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.
Here is my review of the Selection. I really enjoyed it. I thought it was an interesting idea.
I have seen the cover of The Selection in several places but somehow missed the synopsis. It sounds really interesting. I'm going to have to check it out. Nice pick.
ReplyDeleteSounds like an intriguing story. Thanks for sharing it and for the review! Glad you enjoyed it! :D
ReplyDeleteThis book looks like something I might enjoy. It's supposed to be a lighter dystopian-"the dystopian for people who don't like dystopia"- which certainly appeals to me. When you combine that with the absolutely *gorgeous* cover, you have one appealing book:)
ReplyDeleteAnother book on my list of 'really wishing I could read now'...lol. Hopefully I can get to it soon, as it sounds like a great dystopian read. Thanks for sharing!
