For thirty-five girls, the Selection is the chance of a lifetime. The opportunity to escape a rigid caste system, live in a palace, and compete for the heart of gorgeous Prince Maxon. But for America Singer, being Selected is a nightmare. It means turning her back on her secret love with Aspen, who is a caste below her, and competing for a crown she doesn’t want.

Then America meets Prince Maxon—and realizes that the life she’s always dreamed of may not compare to a future she never imagined.

This book is worth to die !!!! <3 You have to read this. I am not kidding !

This book is about America Singer who gets picked in the Selection with 35 other girls to compete for the heart of Prince Maxon but she does not want to be with him she has a secret love for Aspen who is a caste lower than her. I recommend this book

I am in love with this series is for a mature audience however this is romantic and lovely and beautiful I can't wait for the next book!! ( I already pre-ordered it)

I decided a couple of weeks ago I would read it because my teacher had recommended it. When I finished this book I decided to read the whole series and I loved each one. Put in a world in the future 35 girls are trying to win a competition for the prince's heart and live in a world of luxury. I loved this book/series because I have not seen anything like this before its not the same'old love story it's much better than that.

I've always wanted to read this series! It looks so cool! :)

I already read it you need to read it its awesom

This book is amazing. The series itself goes on a rollercoaster of ratings. The first book is excellent. Kiera Cass creates a world that makes you homesick for a place you've never been, a conflict that tears you in two. I would definitely recommend to any teenage girl to read this series, although I would have to warn you that the 2nd book will RIP YOU TO PIECES. Beware of this passionate yet horrifyingly painful series.
