I’ve heard that this book is one of people’s least favorites in the Selection series, and I can see why. Don’t get me wrong, I greatly enjoyed this book and read through it quickly! In comparison to the first book, I believe this one had a great deal more political world building in it. Because of that, the actual aspect of the Selection seemed to be almost paused and not much happening there. But it was still something I wanted to read and became completely immersed in; just not as much as the first book.

Side note: I LOVE the relationship America has with her father. The way she constantly asks him for guidance and looks to him as a level-head is just incredible!
