The Selection

By: Kiera Cass

 I rate this book 5 out of 5. I really enjoyed it. The author had a great idea and there are not a lot of books like this. It kind of reminded me of The Bachelor because of the concept. This book will be liked more by girls because it has to do with falling in love.

 

  The main character America is already in a secret relationship with a boy from home but her mom is pressuring her to go into the selection( a completion with 35 girls so the prince can find one to marry) because this time period is in the future and they have a rank and she is in one of the lower ones and her mom wants her to go so they can become a one and help them. When she gets there she hates the prince and has trouble fitting in but  in the book her and the prince become friends because she is  still in love with the boy from home but her feelings start to change but then her boy from home comes to work in the palace and she is torn between the two boys. Her first love or a prince that can give her a better life.

I read the books Just one day and Just one year by Gayle Forman. I loved her If I stay series so I had to check out her other books and they were just as good. If you loved If I stay you will fall In love with this book series.

 In Just One day ,Allyson meets an amateur Dutch actor Willem during her post-HS culture tour of Europe and with a spontaneity unnatural to her throws away all her caution and embarks on a day trip to Paris with him. They spend a day together, and then it's over, abruptly. Allyson goes back home then, starts college. Her already depressed state is made even more severe by hardships in college, intense helicopter parenting and lack of friends. But her experiences during that one day in Paris eventually encourage her to change her life in a major way and go back to Paris....


You have to read  Just One Year to see if their journey continues....
