It’ll keep you reading!

I absolutely loved this book! I couldn’t put it down.

Absolutely slay

The book draws you in for a series that you cannot put down. This series has everything action, romance and a little bit of tragedy.

“Very good”

Came like new

Unexpectedly amazing

I had grabbed this book off of my English teachers shelf, having heard about it and just wanting something to fill time. Going in I thought it would be a cheesy romance, but as I read, I actually really enjoy the world and characters. I now have the next two books being shipped as I shall finishing the last few pages of this one💖💖

To predictable.

This book is basically The Bachelor but in a dystopian society. To me there wasn’t anything exciting in the book. No shockers, very predictable. If you are used to reading higher level books then I would steer away from this series. The only reason I am not giving lower than a three is because I am not here to bash the author.

It was OK

I could not stand the girls name being America. It just drove me insane. It was incredibly slow and the main character was so hot and cold it was frustrating. I listened to audio books instead of buying the rest of the series. It didn't get much better.

Incredible!

This was one of my favorite reads last year. The writing style is a little straight forward but the characters, love interests and plot are all captivating and addicting.

what?

why is her a name america????????

I loved it.

This series is good 4/5, the book came a little damaged not a lot it was just the cover but it arrived very fast!

Engaging

Great book! Read the book in a few days. Easy read and nice size letters (did not need my glasses) Believe the author did a great job at explaining the history of where this story take place, even through it was not necessarily in the beginning of the book. Once you start reading you are engaged and hooked, have order the other two books of this series. Excited for them to come in

Loved it!

The Selection is one of my favorite book series. I read it a few years ago, and I still remember each character. The book is paced well and the descriptions are expertly done. Not to mention, the aesthetic of this novel is INCREDIBLE! A poor girl living in a lavish castle competing for the man of her dreams in enemies to lovers romance? Who wouldn't love that? Overall, this book deserves all the praise in the world. The author is very talented.

I was expecting more

The book was fine, and I like it. But, I was expecting more from it. You can read it, but it has nothing special

The selection

I started off thinking that I may be too old for this book (I’m 29) but I continued to read and found myself enjoying it. I couple times I caught myself smiling like an idiot reading it lol. Can’t wait to read the next one!

Hunger Game Meets The Bachelor

Read how America is thrown into a Who Will Win The Prince Heart contest with 34 other girls. How connections back home are not what they seem, how the palace is hiding centuries old secrets & everyone isn't what they say they are when the cameras are off. Great read for Teens

My students love The Selection

I can't seem to keep my copy of The Selection on my classroom bookshelf. Female students and teachers are always checking out this dystopian book. The story is similar to Red Queen and Hunger Games.

Couldn't put it down!

I read the entire selection series in three weeks! This series pulled me in from the very first chapter. The Hunger Games meets The Bachelor in this crazy story of friendship, heartbreak, love, and the world around us.

I loved this book! It has a great story line. The Selection is never boring.

#1 Best Series

When I first picked up the book I thought that I wouldn't read it or get bored of it while only reading a couple of pages. But, the day I started reading it I couldn't stop! Right now I am on book #3 of this series because of how good it is

Great Series

Better than Twilight by a mile

This is by far one of my favorite series! If you like romance and humor, this is the book for you. It's like a princess, book version of the Bachelor, and Cass makes you absolutely fall in love with the main characters immediately. I definitely recommend this book to any reader
