Meghan answers “Why is even the rating of this book so...”

A Goodreads user asked this question about The Selection (The Selection, #1):

Why is even the rating of this book so high? I'm like 100% sure I will give it a 1 star if I read it.

(Sometimes not.) I was wondering something similar as the question posed here. A more useful answer for me would be the reasons why you personally like it. Simply saying "you can't know until you try it" is unhelpful and not completely accurate. I can say (without having tried it) that skydiving is not for me. I don't trust the safety mechanisms. They fail sometimes. Not perfect. And I dislike that "whoosh" feeling in my stomach when I'm in free fall. I guess my point is: tell me what why you like this book so much. What's most appealing to you?(less)
