The Selection by Kiera Cass Series: The Selection #1 on June 7, 2012 Genres: Dystopia, Fiction, Romance, Young Adult Pages: 336 Format: E-Book Source: Own Copy Buy on Amazon Goodreads 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. But for America Singer it means turning her back on her secret love, and leaving home for a prize she doesn’t want. Then America meets Maxon and all her plans start to crumble. Can the life she’s always dreamed of compare to a future she never imagined?

I did think that there was […]
