The Selection by Kiera Cass

5.0

“I hope you find someone you can't live without. I really do. And I hope you never have to know what it's like to have to try and live without them.”

This book may be one of the best Dystopian books I've read in a long, long time. The Selection isn't about the world building, which I liked because it gave the characters time to flourish and bloom in a way that they tend to not do in most Dystopians.

America and Maxon had great chemistry from the get go and I immediately had my shipping. Aspen, despite being kind of cute also showed this childlike side and it made me dislike him so much.

What I think is great about this trilogy is that it's a different take on Dystopian, but it's also a very easy read. There's not a lot of thinking going on, you can sit back and relax.
