The Selection was recommended to me by my very dear friend and amazing librarian and reader and human, Kara. And man, man I loved it! I've never been able to watch The Bachelor or The Bachelorette because of work, but I've caught bits and pieces and have found it to be great guilty-pleasure tv and so this idea of a future US, which isn't the US anymore, but a country that is made up of parts North America. It is the kingdom of Illea and the crown prince, Maxon is to find his wife in The Selection- thirty-five girls from the kingdom come and compete for his love. There is drama and intrigue! The story is told from the POV of America, a girl from one of the lower classes, Class Five, who isn't really in the game with her whole heart because she loves a Class Six from her neighborhood. Great stuff and I can't wait to read the next!
