Pages: 336
Publisher: HarperTeen
Expected Publication: April 24, 2012 *HAPPY RELEASE DAY!!
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 the palace and compete for the heart of the 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.

I'm dying to read this book!! I can't for it to arrive. Here is my TT: http://inbetweenbooksreviews.blogspot.com/2012/04/teaser-tuesday-falling-in-love-with.html
ReplyDeleteThe Selection is quite possibly one of the most engaging reads of this year. Yes, the book does lack some real substance. But oh, The Selection guilty pleasure written all over it. I am completely smitten.
ReplyDeleteAmerica was exactly what I needed her to be. Tough on the outside. Gooey inside. Aspen, male interest number one... the verdict is still out. I actually liked him in the beginning, but as the book continued, I found myself liking him less and less. Maxon, oh Maxon, I adore you. I think I want to steal you for myself.
