A throwback to the dystopian era of the 2010s is always fun, even if the writing is lacking and the plot is cringe worthy.
For thirty-five girls, the Selection is the opportunity of a lifetime to marry a prince. In a society where everyone is born into a ranked caste, these girls are able to break through this system and rise up into royalty.
America Singer is one of the few who doesn’t want to be Selected. She doesn’t want to fight for Prince Maxon’s amongst the backdrop of rebellions against the palace, when she’s already in love with a boy from home.
The plot to this first book in the series was incredibly predictable, but it was still kind of enjoyable. The writing definitely caters to a younger audience, but that feeds into the nostalgia effect. The Selection is a bit of an icky notion, and didn’t sit well with me though.
The concept of a society with different levels of class is interesting, but it felt underdeveloped. I’ll be interested to see how it does unfold in the later books, along with the rebellions.
America and Maxon were really cheesy characters, but they were relatable in their own way. I am still invested in their relationship and how it might change later on in the series.

Sucked in
Easy read that will suck you in. Consider yourself warned not to start this close to bedtime, you won't sleep.

Es malo, rematadamente malo, pero hasta cierto punto es divertido por ridículo. Ya había oído que era como Mujeres Hombres y Viceversa y sin duda es bastante así. Triángulo amoroso, protagonista que se cree fea pero es guapa, machista y paternalista...vamos, lo típico ^^
Me ha gustado, sí. PERO OTRO TRIÁNGULO AMOROSO NO POR DIOS.

“What are you doing?”
“I’m erasing that memory. I think we can do better.”
“America, I don’t think you can change history.”
“Sure we can. Besides, who’d ever know about it but you and me?”
THIS is the romance us girlies live for. sweet, pure and fluffy. this pick-me outlook america’s got going on however……… we do not live for that.
