I'm obsessed!! I didn't think I would enjoy this book as much as I did.
The Selection is Februarys bookclub book and I will 100% read the second one after.

In the begining I had some problems with the main character America, she is a bit of a "pick me", but after reading I feel like its not the case. She dosen't have the same confident and is questioning her normal life to the one she gets to "explore".

The prince Maxon is one of my favorits, he is so nice and trying to help her, but also the others. I thought there first meeting was a bit of a cliche, but its also someting thats growing in me. I liek the sweet and slow pace in the ralationship. I fellt like a young girl when they held hands and kissed! I was all over the place.

I really dislikes Aspen, but its more because I fell like he messes things up, which is why I get anoyed with America.

Looking froward to reading The Elite!!

I should preface this with saying that I just picked it up because it was popular. I didn’t have any excitement for it, or high expectations. But I did assume it would be better. But I did read it in five days, so I’ll give it fast-paced.

The main character, America Singer, was… annoying. I know a lot of people seem to dislike her name, but I think that America is a lovely name. 🇺🇸😂 She doesn’t think things through unless some bad shock happens to her. She’s rude, not to mention a not-like-other-girls type who thinks she isn’t pretty when she’s gorgeous, doesn’t like makeup, and prefers pants so much she had special allowance to wear them at the palace. I liked how she could recognize her faults, but that was few and far between and she didn’t really change from it. I liked her relationship with her sister, May, and with her maids. The only thing about her (by herself) that I liked was at the end, when

she fiiiinally told Aspen “no”

. Speaking of Aspen…

NO. Me no likey. Even when he was set up to be liked I didn’t. I don’t trust him and he’s just that annoying, sus, handsome guy.

Maxon was nice. Actually decent. Sometimes he annoyed me, but the whole point of the book is that he’s dating multiple women, so it was only a matter of time before he could annoy me. 😂 It’s definitely a lot like The Bachelor tv show, although more appropriate.

I didn’t like the romance. I’ve never liked love triangles, and ESPECIALLY when a character likes two people. That’s never something I understand or liked. The plot was very predictable, my updates have predictions that came true (and it wasn’t from a lot of detective work). However, it’s entertaining, so if you just wanted something only for the fun of it then this is good.
