Probably my least favorite of the Selection books. I'm over Aspen and I am generally team Maxon, but this book was so wishy washy about what the right choice was. Love triangles can be fun, but this was a little too back and forth. Loved America in the first book, but lost some interest in her after this book. Still fun and worth reading overall though.

Book two is down to the six girls on this royal dystopian bachelor show. But does America even want the prince? Does she want the crown?

Slightly more annoyed at the characters in this one because they got mad over simple misunderstandings, but I still devoured this story.

This was a reread for me that I remember really loving as a teenager.
I can definitely see why I liked this so much. It is funny and cute and light-hearted. As an adult some of the plot points for the lead characters a bit trivial, but the book isn't aimed at adults, so that doesn't effect the star rating.

While I enjoy a lot of the banter and adore the side characters immensely, I often found the reasons behind decisions, America's temper, and the miscommunication forced. She makes so many rediculous assumptions and often acts out. But I guess I was just as impulsive at 17.

I still find this story incredibly cute and one I look forward to keeping in my collection and sharing with friends in the future.

This book is frustrating and maddening to read. I almost put it down several times but I just HAD to know if the characters would get it together. Will appeal to fans of love triangles and Hallmark Christmas romances

I enjoyed this book more compared to the first of the series. The odds were heightened and it felt like more was happening, especially near the end.

I found America to be slightly annoying at certain parts because of the way she was handling having a double romance however I’m glad that she seems to be making a clear choice now (which i hope she sticks to).

The story is also getting more political with more focus on the rebels and the country as a whole. Overall I’m very excited to read the third book and see where Cass takes the story next.
