For thirty-five girls, the Selection is the chance of a lifetime. The opportunity to escape a rigid caste system, 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, and competing for a crown she doesn’t want.
Then America meets Prince Maxon—and realizes that the life she’s always dreamed of may not compare to a future she never imagined.


My Review:  
I will be starting this review with a WOW!! My daughter told me about this series and I am so excited to share them with you. The Selection is the first of the series and I was hooked by the first page. I could not put it down and devoured it with in just two evenings.

As the synopsis says it is a breathless fairy-tale romance and every character stands out as OMG people. You can literary place yourself within each of their life's and feel like you have known them forever. 

Author Kiera Cass has such a way of telling a story that not only pulls you in and won't let you go until you have read every single word and still wanting more. The world in which this book is sit in was so life like as if every part just feels as if you are walking within the halls and the rooms. 

The Selection is part of that world that just screams out that life can be wonderful and amazing, but also so confusing, scary, as well as hauntingly wrong. Breathless is exactly the word to use when describing this book. 

Well be reviewing the rest of the series soon.  But for now for all the reasons above I will be giving this book the Breath of Life rating....

Five Clock Rating!!! 

Disclosure: I did not receive the above book in exchange for my honest opinion and or review. But the Opinions are my own and yours may differ.
