This was by far my favorite book of the Selection series. I love coming back to this novella sometimes. It was cute and swoony and it made me realize that Marlee really should have been the protagonist of the Selection series.

I mean, come on, a girl who enters a competition for a prince, but falls in love with a guard instead? It could have been about the pressure of being the people's favorite and keeping up a facade when all you want to do is run into the arms of the one you can't have. That's way better than a girl running between two guys the whole series.

I only wish that we got to see the exact moment they got caught. What they're thoughts were. When they snuck away. And I still don't believe the whole hidden and plain sight when Marlee's face was so prominent. Couldn't they send their life together as Eights? It would be a better end to a sweet love story. A little cliche but it's makes more sense.

But besides that, I liked what we got and I loved how they wanted to take each other's pain and not see the other suffer. This novella is definitely a recommend and perfect read for romance lovers.
