And he likes that she’s not trying to ingratiate herself to him and he’s hugely amused by her initial disdain for him. Since she wasn’t too keen to be there in the first place, she isn’t feeling very competitive and lets Prince Maxon, who she thinks is terribly conceited, know it right from the start.īut they quickly become friends when she realizes he’s not conceited as much as he is sheltered and also super nervous about having to pick a wife from a group of strangers when he’s never even been on a date. (She applied under strong pressure from her mother who definitely has some visions of grandeur). She’s a 5 and the boy she’s in love with, Aspen, is a 6 (which is lower) and if they marry, she’ll become a 6 too.īut all those decisions weighing on her take a backseat when she’s chosen as one of 35 girls from the country to compete for the hand of the Prince. The world has been redivided into new countries, and her country is set up in a fairly strict caste system. The first in the The Selection series books by Kiera Cass follows America Singer. I can’t speak to whether this is true or not, but I do know the general premise of the show, and so I buy that description. The Selection is billed as Cinderella meets The Bachelor. I’ve never seen a single episode of the Bachelor so. One point for Kiera Cass, zero for Janssen Bradshaw. I only needed to read the first book, but I blew through the next two books in the series – The Elite and The One – in about ten days and now I’m just (im)patiently waiting for the fourth book in The Selection series, The Heir, which comes out next week.Īlso, nothing makes me feel like a reading fraud like finding out that a series I have never heard of or seen is a New York Times bestseller. I got a physical copy of the book for this campaign, but my library had audio copies of the whole series so I just checked them out and listened to them all. The Selection by Kiera Cass was my most recent binge-listen.
I mentioned at the beginning of the year that I was in a mega non-fiction zone.īut then I read the new Sarah Dessen book and listened to all three of the Burn for Burn books and remembered how much I love young adult fiction.
