A review by nikoosa
The Selection by Kiera Cass
3.0
- quality-wise, 1 star
- BUT I gave it 3 because of my enjoyment factor and the fact that I flew through it (which maybe had more to do with the middle school level writing and less that it was a page turner)
- negatives: pace slow af, aspen is sooooo annoying like no redeeming qualities about him, maxon is awkward and i didn’t like how they just decided to become bffs after 2 min convo (even tho that’s lowkey me coded), also I thought maxon setting up the food center thing was super weird and rapidly commie of him considering he didn’t even KNOW this problem existed the day before. It was giving out of touch and like I’m rich so lemme just throw money at this problem and it’ll go away (wrong), the world building kinda wack…
- positives: I reeeally like Marlee and May, the drama between the girls is fun and entertaining (but maybe this should be half a negative bc there is so much mean girl energy), the singular ounce of mystery surrounding Marlee’s background has me curious, and I like the general setting and concept of the book!!
