3.75 - Close to a 4 star. I enjoyed the story, but I guess not as much as others. Good world building, especially since I don't like it nor trust what I have been told.

MESS. Like. What? I'm glad she chose herself, but... no. I need Aspen to leave. He's like a mosquito that won't stop flying next to my ear. OK. ONTO THE NEXT ONE NOW.

mathildestromme's review against another edition
dystopi, trekantdrama og high stakes!!!! Og likevel er jeg ikke grepet😃😃 allerede obvious hvem hun velger, så flott at det er 4 (!!?)bøker til i serien. får gi neste bok en sjanse men jeg er kritisk!

Hmmm.. This one was very difficult for me to rate. I really liked it, but also I wasn't so sure about it. I really didn't like the fact that America is so blind and Aspen is so irritating. I really liked Mason though! I am deciding to continue the series though and I'll see after the second book if I liked it better!

For thirty-five girls, the Selection is the chance of a lifetime. The opportunity to escape the life laid out for them since birth. To be swept up in a world of glittering gowns and priceless jewels. To live in a palace and compete for the heart of gorgeous Prince Maxon.
But for America Singer, being Selected is a nightmare. It means turning her back on her secret love with Aspen, who is a caste below her. Leaving her home to enter a fierce competition for a crown she doesn't want. Living in a palace that is constantly threatened by violent rebel attacks.
Then America meets Prince Maxon. Gradually, she starts to question all the plans she's made for herself—and realizes that the life she's always dreamed of may not compare to a future she never imagined.
