This book has been on my TBR for a while and I heard so many differing opinions on it but I am glad I finally read it because I really ended up enjoying it.

I felt like there could have been a little more world building. I was left a little confused on why things were the way they were. Maybe that will be touched on in future books.

I enjoyed The Selection itself because you know me and my romance even though it's not the typical way of finding your soul mate. I do wish that it was a little less obvious who he's going to end up picking though. But who knows maybe I am wrong and he's going to pick someone I never expected.

There is kind of a love triangle in this book. Starting out in the beginning America is dating Aspen which I adored and then things happen and she ends up as part of The Selection so then its kind of like she's dating Prince Maxon in a sense. It builds up for future books. I ended up adoring Prince Maxon as well so at this point I'm not sure whose side I'm on.

As for America herself a lot of people hate her. They say she is annoying but I didn't feel that way. I thought she was a normal teenage girl who is actually kind of a badass character because she's not afraid to speak her mind no matter who she's talking to.

I was left with some unanswered questions that I hope will be answered in future books but overall this was a fast paced enjoyable read.
