Not as strong as the first book but still very much recommended by me. Personally I think it dragged a bit but it was still enjoyable and very much necessary for reading the 3rd book, which is the best one in the series in my opinion.

🖕😾🖕 that’s how America makes me feel. Anyway, it was fun 🤩 but so repetitive. It’s like so much happened but also nothing happened.

emotional lighthearted

4.0

Lika underhållande som förra boken och jag fortsätter att överraskas av hur mycket jag gillar serien. 

I andra boken i Selection serien är en fortsättning på urvalet och kampen om Maxons hjärta (och tronen). Det finns bara sex tjejer kvar och fler ska elimineras. Ska America få stanna i tävlingen och hur ser hennes känslor egentligen ut? 

Jag fortsätter att rekommenderar boken och den är väldigt underhållande. Målgruppen för boken skulle jag säga är 12+. Detta är en bok med intriger, romans och vänskap och den utspelar sig i en allt annat än perfekt värld. En fantasy (utan magi) och dystopisk bok.

3.0

The story follows America and her journey to deciding if she wants to be princess and her feeling between two boys.  All while there is the have and have not outside the palace which has caused a group to want to bring down the royal family.  Then there is Maxon and his decision on who he wants as not only his wife but the queen. There were 35 to start now there is only 6. Is America the one or is she not?  

This story line is good, but Americas back and forth and her juggling the feelings of two boys hearts is annoying.  I also think this book could have been cut down, at times its like it's stuck on replay.  Only minor changes go about each day and each girl does the same thing.
