The Selection is a YA story featuring a live broadcast competition where thirty-six women, one from each province, across a number of caste classes, compete for the attention of Prince Maxon Schreave.

So if you like either one of those things, chances are your going to find something to enjoy in the Selection. The Selection by Kiera Cass is essentially The Hunger Games cross The Bachelor. Then it was announced that Netflix is doing an adaptation of the series, and Kayla at Booksandlala starts doing a mass re-read with live shows, and I found myself immersed in the world of Illea once more. To this day, I’ve got fond memories of the series, but never really felt inspired to pick them back up (kind of a so-many-books-not-enough-time kind of situation).

I’m not sure what prompted me to finally pick the books up in 2015, but I’m really glad I did as I DEVOURED the first three books in the original series SUPER QUICK. I first read The Selectionback in 2015, after having put the series off for a LONG time thanks to some bookish drama that I’m not going to rehash here. Can the life she’s always dreamed of compare to a future she never imagined? Then America meets Maxon and all her plans start to crumble. But for America Singer it means turning her back on her secret love, and leaving home for a prize she doesn’t want. In a world of glittering gowns and priceless jewels the Selection is the chance of a lifetime: to compete for gorgeous Prince Maxon’s ear.
