Book two is down to the six girls on this royal dystopian bachelor show. But does America even want the prince? Does she want the crown?

I really liked it!!

Even tho love the characters I’m so irritated with several of them

because America can’t choose If she wants Aspen or Maxon (I vote for Maxon). Maxon is suddenly giving the other girls attention after he have promised America a lot of stuff. Aspen is trying to mess with America’s head by manipulating her to think that Maxon is fake, I don’t know if I should believe him or not. I’m really glad tho that Marlee wasn’t being fake to America<3

I absolutely hate the king but I love the queen!
Celeste is so irritating. 

Despite all of the things that annoys me I really really like the book, it was easily read and still very interesting!

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.
