[SPOILERS AHEAD!!]
i stopped reading on the second book. the storyline was pretty good on the first book, and i really felt like i'm living in the book. the main reason i abandoned reading this book series is because i found out that Maxon is gonna be the endgame(i searched it up). i was like hell no. i was rooting for Aspen. Aspen is so much better. Maxon had his eyes on other girls besides America(i can't remember their names but yeah),and yes its the purpose of The Selection but still, i wanted him to only have that connection with America. the other reasons i dropped this is because Maxon didn't fully trust America. there were some misunderstandings that America just kinda didn't fix or clear up so Maxon would hear her out(mostly about Celeste) but really, Maxon should have listened to her. Maxon should have believed her when she told him about what Celeste did and is doing. it was such an ick when he got mad at America when she told him that and he walked away. another ick is when he didn't fight or do anything to stop the torture of Marlee and Carter. or atleast, he should have comforted America when she was having a breakdown while it happened. he didn't even cry. he just watched. yes, i know he helped them after but still. he could have done more. Aspen on the other hand was and will always be by America's side and i wish she appreciated that more. Aspen didn't have any other girls in his mind or heart. just America. he's more the ideal boyfriend/husband. Aspen is just perfect in every way. America should have chosen him. i would choose Aspen over Maxon any day, everyday.
