It’s been a while since I found and devoured such a delicious young adult series :-) The best way I can think to describe The Selection Series by Kiera Cass is Hunger Games meets the Bachelor. The series is primarily a romance story, but with a hearty dose of politics, cat fighting and other lovers thrown in the mix. Oh, and as usual, I was captivated with the American dystopia part of the story.
Goodreads says:
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.
In addition to the three books in the series, two novellas complete the full story. These are easy, intriguing reads and are perfect for winding down at the end of a long day.
As usual, let me know what’s on your bedside!! That’s where I get my very best reads :-)
