This series thoroughly appeased me at the end, I must confess. The third out of the three was my favourite, I must confess, and somewhat gave me "The Princess Dairies" slumber party feeling with he connection of the final girls, which I found lovely to finally have some sort of friendship there between them.
This is something I will review on my blog and edit on here once it is ready, but if you're looking for a quick series read which is lemon at points and is something that can be regarded a guilty pleasure, then The Selection is for you.

Wow! Just wow! What a great book to wrap up the trilogy. And thank you, thank you to Kira Cass for not losing sight of her characters, story, or style during the process of writing the three books. Too often that is the case with book series, but Cass beat the odds on that one,
I couldn't put this book down. I felt it build and build with every passing chapter and I never felt let down by the flow of the story. I was happy, I was sad, I was angry. This is a good thing! A book that can bring you through all the emotions is a great one. I was so riveted I had a hard time putting it down and read it faster than I had thought I would.
I appreciated America and Maxon's relationship in this book. They were real with real relationship problems. And they accepted each other's flaws. I was very much expected in the middle of the book that America and Aspen's relationship would come through and I would have to suffer through 100 pages of whining that is so typical of YA novels these days. But instead, Cass saved that reveal for the end and allowed it to be solved quickly and in a beautiful way. I knew America would end with Maxon, but I also knew the relationship had to be tested and that her secret would come out. I thought Maxon reacted as to be expected, I would've liked him to be reasonable, but he does have a part of his father's temper. It was beautiful.
All that being said, I could have gone without the bonus chapter in the end through Lucy's eyes. Super sweet that Aspen and Lucy end up together, it really is. But, at the same time, it really makes Aspen kind of a jerk to both America and Lucy. I know America was being bad too, but at least Aspen knew that America was pursuing Maxon. The same cannot be said about Aspen pursuing Lucy. I could have done without that chapter altogether.

I cried three times reading this book. Maybe I’ll update with an actual review later.
Questo libro può essere riassunto con una sola parola:ANSIA.

I liked this one the best! Lots of action (especially at the end) with lots of twists and turns. Entertaining series overall with a happy ending.
This was probably my least favorite book in the trilogy (bc I'm not reading the rest of this series and think it should have been a trilogy that is what I will call it). I really loved the story still and America and Maxon's ending did make me quite happy. I just think that coming back to this book a few months later, it wasn't very memorable for me and I wish it was because the first two definitely were.
Ich liebe es so, so sehr!
Ich liebe es, wie man endlich mitbekommt, was da eigentlich bei den Rebellen abgeht. Ich liebe es, wie man America und Maxon dabei zusehen kann, wie sie sich immer wieder näher kommen und dann doch wieder auseinander gehen. Ich liebe es, wie man zum weinen und zum Lachen gebracht wird und vor allem liebe ich die sich entwickelnde Freundschaft der Mädchen.
Generell sind die Mädchen - vor allem die Elite - mir sehr ans Herz gewachsen und ich finde sie alle unglaublich toll. Alleine diese Szene, in der die vier sich zusammen mit den Hausmädchen fertig gemacht haben, war unglaublich schön zu lesen.
America hat so einen Wandel durchgemacht, den ich absolut grandios finde. Sie ist eine wunderbare, selbstbewusste und starke Frau und das sie und Maxon sich letztendlich zusammen gerissen haben, freut mich natürlich ebenfalls. Wobei ich mir zwischendurch echt die Haare raufen musste. Kinnas, redet miteinander!
Ich habe das Buch an einem Tag durchgelesen und das soll schon was heißen!
Und ich habe so geweint. Liegste in der Badewanne, liest gemütlich, denkst dir nichts und dann SOWAS WAS SOLL DAS; DAS GEHT NICHT
This book is an emotional roller coaster and I loved it.
Da ich jedoch gehört habe, dass die darauf folgenden zwei Bücher nicht mehr so toll sein sollen, werde ich mich mal überraschen lassen. Lesen werde ich sie dennoch!

I really wanted to like this, but the ending ruined it. Yes, we all knew from the beginning that America would win. But Maxon going from I’m going to marry you to you evil heartbreaker to I love you more than life itself in the span of about 12 hours was stupid. At least hear an explanation from America? It would have been better if the Aspen thing was revealed earlier so that America and Maxon had to deal with it instead of all the other crap that happened in the book.
But still this was a nice fluffy series to read.

this book was the first book I really love hated. it frustrated me and made me laugh and cry and ugh this is an awful review. But I will say this entire trilogy was so worth waiting for to marathon because I don't think I would have been able to wait if I read them when I bought them. this was such a fun series to read and despite it's minor flaws, I really really enjoyed it
My anxiety reading this and waiting for the final decision at the end was at an all time high. I am so invested into America Singer and it ended just as I wanted it to
