This is definitely the strongest book of the series (so far) and this is my first written review of them so here we go.
I really enjoy this series, a lot more than I thought I would, and I think it’s because of the girls. These books show such real female friendships and it’s honestly refreshing. They’re complicated and messy but so real and I love it.
Also, as much as I want to hate America, I just can’t. I tend to disagree with her rash decisions, but I can’t hate them. She’s such a nice character because she loves so much and is very strong. She has her beliefs and sticks to them in any way she can and I think it makes her a very lovable mc.
So yeah, recommended definitely and I wish I could say more but I’m horrible at reviews.

So bad but soooo good.
It had a great ending. But it just felt like their fighting went on for AGES and the love triangle and other women drama was *too* much... but still I liked it.

Ugh... I want more. I want the Honey moon I want them trying for kids I want them living life together happy...
I haven't been this obsessed with a book series since The Hunger Games <3

"The best people all have some kind of scar" - The One
I admit, I did NOT expect to become so obsessed with this series! But once I started, I simply could not put it down. Mercifully, I did not read these until now. Because now I only need to wait a little more than a month for the last book to come out. I have been sick the last few days, and therefore have had ample time to read. The only plus to having a cold. But thanks to my essential oils and books...I feel much better and have been quite entertained! Being that this is the third book in the series I don't want to give away too many spoilers. But let me just say that Kiera Cass did a wonderful job of bringing America's Selection to a close. There are still a few surprises along the way (especially if you DON'T read The Favorite first) and a few of the other characters found a special place in my heart that I previously despised. America's journey from being a poor artist's daughter to a confident, strong, influential woman is inspiring, to say the least. There are many times that she is criticized for speaking the truth and being herself, but she never loses who she is. Instead she uses these experiences to fine tune her character and comes to the realization of what truly matters in life. Although, there were many times that she drove me crazy because she couldn't make up her mind. In the end she always makes the right choice (in my opinion). And even we say it a lot, there is nothing more important than to truly be yourself.
Overall I would not recommend this to young teens. There is a lot of passion and kissing in this series. Parents please use your discretion for this series.

definitely a bingeable series but I can't say it was anything earth shattering. a good pallet cleanser.
Ok, so this was cute series and I think it is awesome for young adults. It's pretty clean with minimal swearing and a few kissing scenes. They are pretty quick reads, and has a good storyline with dreamy guys included. That being said, this story was so stretched out. Everything could have happened in one book for sure. Also, I did not like America that much. I thought she was annoying and freaking indecisive which drives me so crazy in books! Seriously, it drives me crazy when they pull along two different guys and cry constantly because she is just so in love with both of them.. Don't expect to have any earth shattering revelations about the meaning of life in this series, deep themes and ideas are pretty minimal. The themes that the book does have are easily found in every other dystopian novel you have ever read. But if you're looking for a book that is just purely for entertainment, this is perfect. Everybody needs to read books like these every once in a while. It is pure brain candy and there is nothing wrong with that.
