Wow! Wow! Wow!
That wasn't what I expected!

What I thought it would be ~
Well, I thought this book was going to be some cheesy and boring romance, a story not meant for me to which I would give 2 stars. But here I am, giving it 5 stars!

"If you don’t want me to be in love with you, you’re going to have to stop looking so lovely. First thing tomorrow I’m having your maids sew some potato sack

entertaining enough, but any fun i had while reading was ruined by the distractingly ridiculous world building, characterization, plot (or lack thereof), etc.

I found the Selection a fantastic read. The characters were well developed, and I loved the idea. Think Hunger Games, without the bloodshed, gore, and murder of children aspect. The motivations and diversity of the people found in this book are well-written and believable. I was yearning so much to find out what happened next that I bought the next 2 books the next day. I loved this book and I hope you will too!
