MAJOR SPOILERS
summary: (i copied this one from goodreads) For thirty-five girls, the Selection is the chance of a lifetime. The opportunity to escape the life laid out for them since birth. To be swept up in a world of glittering gowns and priceless jewels. To 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. Leaving her home to enter a fierce competition for a crown she doesn't want. Living in a palace that is constantly threatened by violent rebel attacks. Then America meets Prince Maxon. Gradually, she starts to question all the plans she's made for herself—and realizes that the life she's always dreamed of may not compare to a future she never imagined.
review: i liked the majority of it. i liked the idea of the book. but there were some things i just hated. so you know how most of time ur supposed to follow along with the main character(s) agreeing with them on minor things since ur going throu their point of view. ANYYWAYYS, the main character, America Singer, is plain out dumb. she never understands that Maxon likes her. (she's also dumb in the 2nd book which im half way throu right now) it's the most obvious thing in the entire book!!!! i hate that these book are all just about competing for love........ all aspen does is kiss her! what the heck! the only good characters are Anne, Lucy, and Mary (the three maids)!! AND THAT SAYS A LOT. and the maids are minor characters.... eh, yeah, minor, but not THAT minor. they're so sweet, and lucy's background is so sad! if u don't like love triangles, i dont know what to tell ya. oooh, i also hate books that are so obvious to the ending (she's clearly going to fall in love with the prince.....)
