Whew, does America have a hard choice to make.
The Selection by Kiera Cass
America
Singer is a Five. Not a Two, not even a Three, but a Five. So when
she receives an application for the Selection in the mail, everyone in her family is ecstatic. Except for America. She has no desire to live in the
palace, be the future Queen of Illéa, or marry the stiff prince, Maxon Schreave. America wants to be with Aspen, who is a caste below her. When he encourages her to enter the Selection, she does, not knowing that her life will change forever because of it. In the end she must choose between the new life that she is imagining and the life she has always wanted.
The first thing about this book that caught my attention was the cover. I mean, how gorgeous is that dress? Then I decided to get the free sample, because it sounded extremely interesting. I read the sample and had to show it to my friend, who promptly bought the book on her tablet. The whole time she was reading it, she couldn't stop gushing about how great it was, so I finally snatched it up as well. It was a great cross between the vintage beauty of monarchy and the blunt futuristic notion of the castes. This is definitely what I would call a girly-girl book, but its not all sunshine and rainbows. America has to deal with friendship problems and relationship problems, all while trying to make sure that her family is cared for in the financial arena. This is a great book that all teenage girls will love!
