Side note: I LOVE the relationship America has with her father. The way she constantly asks him for guidance and looks to him as a level-head is just incredible!

This book… The first book of the selection series was pretty decent. It was easy to read and I didn’t have to focus so much.
This book is way worse in every possible way. It feels like I could’ve written this book when I was ten, I mean the Swedish translation was not iiiittt.
Here’s some things I wrote down while reading:
- Is she mentally ill?
- HOW CAN SHE STILL BE W ASPEN I HATE ASPEN
- why tf is she so stuck up in her attitude
- I hate Maxon, stupid and ugly name
- Is she dumb in her whole head
- SHE IS AN ANTI HERO STUPID BITCH WHY DID IT TAKE HER SO LONG TO REALIZE THAT THE SELECTION IS WRONG AND THAT THE CAST SYSTEM IS BAD AND DUMB????
- aspen go to bed I don’t want you here
- SHE IS FUCKING CHEATING ON MAXON W ASPEN AND WHEN MAXON DOES SOMETHING W OTHER GIRLS SHE CANT FORGIVE HIM AND WONT TALK TO HIM??
- I feel so bad for Maxon
In conclusion it was a pretty bad book that just kept getting worse BUT I’m still going to read the whole series because I want to watch it when it comes out on Netflix. That’s the only thing that’s keeping me hooked.
The characters wasn’t likable at AAALLLLL💀💀 It is not a single person I like in this fucking book I despise everyone and everything. And
Maybe I’m too old for this book, maybe it’s meant for younger kids.
