This book is about an extremely confused girl.No,not just this book,the whole series is I guess.America can't decide which boy to love in 2 books,she wears 2 bracelets gifted by 2 different boys in her hand,,continuously flirts with both of them,kisses one & then gets jeaolus if the other one is kissing someone else.I honestly don't think I've ever come across such a confused character in all the years I've been reading.One moment she decides that she hates the country & its systems....in the ne ...more

I'm Team Maxon so this book hurt tons. The author is good at making me guess. So much crazy happened in this book that my heart will probably never beat the same way again. Anyway, a great, amazing sequel. ...more

Whoa, The competition is really heating up now! Follow as America as she struggles with even more catty girl drama, losing her grip on Maxon, even more rebel attacks, and finally entering the politics of it all. Is she ready to be a One? Is she cut out to be a Princess? Maxon or Aspen? AND even new questions are answered, why was the caste system created? is it working? What do the rebels want? .... Can't wait to read The One and find out.... ...more

I enjoyed this book more than The Selection even though America was beyond frustrating & indecisive. Really hoping she doesn't continue going back and forth between Maxon and Aspen in the next one because I don't think I can handle it anymore. Excited to read The One since it seemed to be the favorite of the three. ...more

Shelves: favorites, want-to-get

I'm still SEETHING about Maxon but I kind of get it. Actually I'm mad at both him and America. She's mad at him for being with other girls (and I still don't quite agree with him being intimate to a point with them) but she's doing the EXACT same thing with Aspen. Was very frustrated this entire book with America's bull headed-ness and her uncertainty, but I know it will work out and so will Maxon. The one I'm REALLY TICKED OFF AT is the King.... someone do something!!!! Abusive, horrid., deceit ...more

Overall it was great- but it had a few weak characters and occasionally the story became weird and boring.

Actually a 3.5

I seriously had problems tbh with how America cannot choose between Aspen or Maxon and how Maxon still kisses/flirts wayy too much with the other girls even though he asks America to trust him no matter what he's doing :/
