Review:

  Anything but what I expected! It was so good! There were so many surprising moments and times when I was just speechless! Thank god America wasn't whiny this time! Lol! Am I the only one laughing at my joke? I think I am...

  Anyways, the book was SOOOO good! Also, that gown is drop-dead gorgeous! Also, I'm feeling so sleepy right now... 

  There were so many things that just suddenly came upon you and I personally don't think I need to say anything more than the fact that the trilogy has come to a close on a fabulous note! I don't think I could've asked for a better ending.

Type: #2 in The Selection Trilogy

Rating: 4.5/5 Stars

Synopsis: The Selection began with thirty-five girls.

Now with the group narrowed down to the six Elite, the competition to win Prince Maxon's heart is fiercer than ever—and America is still struggling to decide where her heart truly lies. Is it with Maxon, who could make her life a fairy tale? Or with her first love, Aspen?

America is desperate for more time. But the rest of the Elite know exactly what they want—and America's chance to choose is about to slip away.

Review: 

   The book was pretty good. No denying that. What I didn't like was how America didn't seem to be taking a decision. At one point, it got too much. Should I choose him, or not? It got so irritating that it took me to a point where I just groaned straight out. It was THAT bad. To me. 

  Anyways, other than that, I feel like the book earned pretty decent opinions from me. I cried at a point cuz something was just too harsh. I was so angry and I felt consumed by this anger. I found myself actually feeling upset and overwhelmed. As if I was there. So good job on that, Kiera. 

  There wasn't much world building. I guess because there wasn't much to build in the world. So yeah. I honestly enjoyed the book, but it does spoil the reading experience since America was whiny throughout most part of the book. But I definitely recommend it to someone having second thoughts about the book.

Synopsis: 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.

Review: 

  Not much to say about the book other than the fact that I thoroughly enjoyed the book. It was just such a quick and interesting read! The world was very nicely woven and everything. Although I do wish there was more action in it. But I guess you can't really say that since it IS a romance book. But still... Overall I do think the book was excellent. The characters were super interesting to read about as well. I think that anyone who enjoys somewhat love triangles, romance and dystopian minus action, will enjoy the book!
