What can I say? I guess I’m a sucker for a The Bachelor meets The Hunger Games dystopian fairytale because I kinda liked this. It’s not good literature guys, I know. But I still enjoyed it. Plus, I listened to the audiobook and it was easy to work to, so that’s another plus in my book. We’ll see if my feelings change when I get into the second book.

Amo esta saga, en especial la forma en el que el primer libro introduce la historia es bellísima. La confusión de América en sus sentimientos me encanta y aunque a veces pueda ser estresante comprendo que es humana y es un personaje que actúa basado en las características con las que ha sido creado. Ame cada parte de este libro

yeah i wouldve ate this up when i was in jr high but it was fun nonetheless!
Maxon - WHAT A CUTIEPIE!! I love how he’s actually serious about the selection and carefully choosing. Plus I can really tell he wants a change in their kingdom. With America by his side, they’re going to be amazing royals for sure.
I loved the part where America did not take no for an answer and helped her maids during the rebel attack. Her determination has always been strong but when she said that command to Silvia immediately I was like yup she’s definitely the future queen and I think Maxon can definitely see that in her.
I’m very impartial to Aspen. Like I find myself not giving a fuck about him 🤣 so when he appeared it was just… annoying. I really hope however it goes, he won’t be too annoying on the next book.
Vale vale vale, 5/5 sin duda.
Tenía muchas ganas de comenzar esta saga y temía que esas ganas provocarán que esta primera parte me decepcionara pero no ha sido así para nada, más bien todo lo contrario.
Tengo muchos sentimientos encontrados con este libro y ¡todos buenos! me ha encantado el pensamiento "final" de America y dios estoy indecisa con todo de verdad. Ella me parece un gran personaje femenino y me gusta que sean los chicos los que tienen que luchar por ella y no ella demostrarles nada.
Me quedo con muchas ganas de leer "La élite" que sin duda será mi próxima adquisición y lectura.
Quedo completamente enamorada del estilo de Kiera Cass, me encanta su prosa, las descripciones, te meten totalmente en el ambiente del libro.
¡Qué ganas tengo y cuánto me alegro de haberme metido en este mundo!

I have a confession. Tik Tok made me buy this book. Everyone was hyping it up and saying how they cannot wait for the movie on Netflix to be released. I wanted to know what the hype was all about so I caved. And now I can totally see why this book has much hype!
I fell in love with it right away! America was so annoying. And I HATED Aspen the second he was introduced. But Maxon is *chef's kiss*. I love him.
This was such a fun read!

"I suddenly knew, just as Maxon had said his mother had done, that I would contact these girls down the road. I would want to know who everyone married and send them Christmas cards. And in twenty-some-odd years, if Maxon had a son, I'd call to ask them about their favourite girls in the new Selection. And we'd remember everything we'd gone through and laugh about it as if it had been an adventure, not a competition."
Another reread of a book I loved as a teenager. This time, however, instead of losing a star, this has gained one. I just adore this book. It feels like home. I first read it when I was 15 and I finished rereading it (for maybe the 5th or 6th time) on my 21st birthday, and I think I might even love it more now than I did back then. I don't know that another book will ever replace it as my comfort book. I just love it.
America Singer. My beloved. She gets a lot of hate for some of the stupid decisions she makes but I just adore her. She has such a big heart. Honestly, she's one of my favourite fictional characters ever.
Maxon Schreave. Such a darling. He's just precious. Enough said.
Marlee Tames. Unproblematic fave. I just love, like, everyone in this book. (Not true at all, but the ones I love I love.)
So, if you couldn't tell, I just love this book. I love every book in the trilogy but I think this one has got to be my favourite because of how enchanting and exciting the beginning of the journey is. I am definitely going to be rereading the next two and the companion novella too, because I just can't help myself. It's been something close to three years since I last reread these books and I think it's about time I reminded myself of how much I love them.

Given that I don't like teen dystopia, first person PoV 90% of the time or love triangles...there is no logical reason for me to have enjoyed this as much as I did. But...yeah. I really had quite a bit of fun with this book. (As is evident at my having read it in less than 24 hours)
They didn't really have "ooo love triangle" for most the book, which made it better, and I greatly enjoyed the cast of characters. And it was a GIRLY book! And that was unspeakably refreshing. It made me feel all giddy and happy inside.
Not sure yet if I'll continue on to book two or not though...because again...love triangles. We shall see...
