A Goodreads user asked this question about The Elite (The Selection, #2):
Who do you like better? Aspen or Maxon? I personally like Maxon a lot better.
Ashley Aspen gets on my nerves because he broke up with her and then thinks he has a right to come around and flirt with her, but yet again America does noth…moreAspen gets on my nerves because he broke up with her and then thinks he has a right to come around and flirt with her, but yet again America does nothing to stop him. So they sneak around when they know they could get punished to death or something of the sort just because they can't help themselves.

Maxon has been my favorite for a while now but I can't help but get angry when I read a scene about him making out with another girl or flirting with someone. I know he says that he loves America and would choose her, but he makes it quite hard to believe when his actions say otherwise. And I guess it makes it hard for America to truly trust him, but he doesn't seem to get that and thinks she's temperamental about her choices( which in a way she is) but he needs to understand he's also at fault. This book is so frustrating! I wish she would make up her mind and that Maxon would stop flirting with other girls in front of her!
Despite the fact I like Maxon better I almost wish he would just send her home so I won't have to read this Maxon/Aspen drama.(less)
