While there was a sprinkling of dark themes, overall I felt the book was cozy to read during winter time and I loved the dynamic between the FMC and her best friend and with the MMC. In some books, the best friend gets swept to the side and sometimes even mistreated, but in this case the best friend remains a solid support throughout.
I was able to predict a few things, however there was still enough to discover throughout the book that it never lost its intrigue.
Moderate: Violence
Minor: Sexual content

i haven't read The Selection, but from what i understand it's basically that but *make it fae*
when i picked it up i wasn't sure how much i'd like it, but i was cackling so much at the first few pages alone i got immediately sucked in. the FMC Ava is spunky and hilarious, the prince Torin is actually a pretty standup MMC, and the competition is fierce. while there are tons of laughs, there's also danger and mystery (with a touch of violence). the buildup and chemistry between Ava and Torin is everythinggggg i was literally screaming NOW KISS at my kindle.
i could see the reveal/twist coming most of the book, but i still enjoyed it.
i'm immediately sprinting to book 2.
