This book is a fucking joke.

This book is a joke for several reasons, and i'll get to them later on.

I'd also like to point out: America Singer is a stupid name. I don't care what anyone says, I don't even care for the explanation 'America' gave for her name, it's stupid and sounds like a ten year old came up with it.

Let's discuss America for a second, shall we?
America is one of those you-don't-know-you're-beautiful-that's-what-makes-you-beautiful kind of girl. She's called beautiful by everyon ...more

To be totally honest, this book kept popping up in my recommendations but the synopsis didn't really appeal to me, it was like hunger games meets a reality tv dating show! But after it came up yet again I gave into peer pressure! I'm totally glad I did! This book was awesome! I couldn't put it down!
You follow America on her journey from a lower caste of a starving "Five" to the crazy roller coaster ride of being treated like royalty in this Selection process. Turning her whole world upside down. ...more

Not sure how I felt about this book at first. It took me a while to get into & I didn't really like America, but it got better halfway through. Really hoping the love triangle doesn't get too annoying. So curious to find out what's going to happen in the next one. ...more
