Summary: America Singer has never wanted to be "selected".
To compete for a man she's never met and a crown she doesn't
want,while 35 other girls fight desperately for the same goal. It
would mean leaving her family and her secret love Aspen. And
what if she ends up wanting her new life more than the old one?
Rating: This is a 4.5.
Awards: None
Opinion: I really enjoyed this series. I had been thinking the
whole "love triangle thing" was overdone, but this one worked. I
loved America's personality, and the two guys were great.
(Although I have to say, I'm partial to Maxon, the Prince.) I also
liked that the book wasn't entirely about the romance. That can
be tiring. People compare this book to Matched or Hunger
Games, but personally, I think it stands on its own merit.
