Love love love this series and this book! The perfect middle-of-trilogy book to expand the plot and character development. My only dislike is the intense miscommunication trope between America and Maxon.

This book definitely has “middle book syndrome”. It was enjoyable but not as good as the first.

This book was a bit slow to start. I definitely was just waiting for something to happen and nothing really did until about half way through. "The Elite" was WAY more emotional than "The Selection". 
Maxon is becoming much better with crying girls tho lol
