Quotes to Remember:
“True love is usually the most inconvenient kind.”

“It's always the fear of looking stupid that stops you from being awesome.”
My Review:
First off, I love this book so much! It has been sitting on my shelf for forever and I have just never particularly felt like picking it up. But as a big fan of The Bachelor this was the book version of the show. If the bachelor were the prince of a high powered dystopian country, that is.
Royal love stories are among my favorite things in books and the trope of a member of the royal family falling in love with a low class, high personality, commoner is one of my favorites. This was everything I love in a book.
This book is perfect for people who like sappy romance, royal love stories, and maybe a love triangle. But we won't talk about that.
Publisher's Description:
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.
