Emily.reads | 37 comments I finished the first 2 books and I'm team maxon all the way. I'm still waiting for the third book to come I can't wait to read it.


hanpanparker (henleygrace) | 3 comments I read this series in like three days (not consecutively). I could not put it down. When I read the first one, I ran out and bought The Elite, then waited for The One and as soon as it came out, I went to B&N and bought it. It was worth it. I LOVE Maxon so much...


Jolie (jwarrenreads) | 7 comments I love this series so much


Meagan | 171 comments This whole series was amazing I read them all in three days. The last one only took me an hour to read it was so good.


Pamela (waterspout) | 46 comments This series is phenomenal!! Idk what to say to people who didn't like it lol. The whole series is so amazing with surprises thrown in here and there, parties to plan and such all the while thinking if America is gonna choose Maxon or Aspen!! I love this series. It's fantastic!


Maddie (dailyreads) | 6 comments I need to go get The One! I've been going to the library more instead of the book store because when ever I go into barnes and noble I come out with like 10 books (I can't be the only one, right?


Maddie (dailyreads) | 6 comments Dear authors,
Please stop with the love triangles.

Cath | 30 comments I read them all the day they cam out in one sitting and i thought when i first got the selection I would hate it but she made it really good sometimes i think it got ridiculous but one of my favorite trilogies


Emily.reads | 37 comments Wow the one is my favorite in the series I just love how it ends the first one was great the second was good but the third was phenomenal


Alyssa I'm enjoying The Selection Trilogy! At the moment I am reading The Elite! Really love it!


Pearl Angeli (pearlangeli) | 3 comments Team Maxon forever here! <3


Alyssa I just finished this Trilogy! In my opinion I loved it a lot! Although the third bit felt a little bit rushed by the ending. Otherwise, this is one of my favorite trilogy's at the moment. :)


Amanda ✨ndcreads✨ (amanda25523) | 2 comments I just finished all books! Loved them. Read them in a few sittings along with the novella of The Prince & The Guard. So glad I decided to give in and read them. I loved the way it ended! Definitely a little different than expected!


Claire Oliver (Robespierre101) | 6 comments How are the novellas? Worth reading?


Amanda ✨ndcreads✨ (amanda25523) | 2 comments I think that if you are a fan of the series they definitely are. I like reading from Aspen's point of view and reading the behind the scenes stuff. Give them a go!


Britt | 40 comments I loved this series!! The ending was great!! The first book was my favorite though. The last book was good too.


Booklover456 | 4 comments Love the series! I loved the ending of the One!

The Selection is one of my fav dystopian trilogies❤


Booklover456 | 4 comments The Elite is actually the best in my opinion! I liked the first the least and I cried in the One


Laura | 2 comments I love the Selection so much! I could not put it down! I started it in bed intending to read one chapter before I went to sleep and ended up not getting any sleep because I couldn't stop! Grinned from ear to ear the entire time I read it and even thinking about it gives me a big goofy smile.

(also, OBVIOUSLY team maxon from day 1!!)


Isabella Nichols I thoroughly enjoyed the series. The characters, the plot, the setting, just everything in general about it. I am so Team Maxon. :)


Margaret Self (margarloo) | 31 comments I really liked this series and I can't wait for The Heir to come out next year! It could be a hit or miss.


Pamela (waterspout) | 46 comments I'm scared to read the Heir! I feel like it's gonna be really baaad :'(


Maddie | 5 comments I love this series!! I read all three books in one week! i am not looking forward to waiting for the 7 month wait for "The Heir"


Steffi (steffi10) | 2 comments I so far have only read the first book and i really look forward to picking up the elite and the one because i just loved the selection


Ashley (goldhades) | 34 comments Loved that series and Maxon is bae

Audryaunna | 47 comments I have heard mixed reviews about these book, but they are on my TBR shelf so I am hoping to get to them.


Sophie | 45 comments I'm team Maxon all the way he just has that boyish charm and he's a prince and Aspen and her used to be my favorite couple until Maxon and America started to get close.


Rylie | 914 comments I love this book! I can't wait for the 4th book! I am team Maxon and was team Maxon from the beginning!


Jessica Ann (jscharnagle) | 3 comments I loved every single book in this series. I read "The Heir" in four hours. Still need more KIERA CASS PLZ. I know there is a fifth book in the works because it's listed under her profile...but when does it come out?!?! I can't wait to find out.


Steph | 17 comments Best books ever!!!


Emily McCabe | 3 comments the heir was great!!


Emily McCabe | 3 comments the heir was great!!


Yesmeen (dia46) | 45 comments When i first read part of the Selection i was team Aspen then he got annoying and i couldn't stand him so then i was team Mxaon. I loved the plot and the love between America and Maxon, it was just very cute! The Heir was great, and Eadlyn is a good leader to me...she's got a stong personality, but the ending...(view spoiler)

Kat | 387 comments I was team aspen but then it changed to team maxon after the first book and it has been like that ever since. I am a bit hesitant to read The Heir because I have seen a lot of average ratings and reviews saying that Eadlyn wasn't a good character and that the book let down the series.


Emily McCabe | 3 comments at first it takes a while to get used to have new main characters but I thought it was good


message 86: by Kat (new) - rated it 3 stars

Kat | 387 comments ok, i will read it soon


message 87: by Lulu (new) - rated it 4 stars

Lulu (lulubirdee) | 4 comments I was on team maxon from the beginning. Her love story with Aspen was touching...but still Maxon.

Sydney (sydney_g) | 24 comments I absolutely loved the Heir it was very interesting to read from a different point of view and see how the selection worked from the point of view of the selector rather then the selected and that was something I loved but at the same time you kinda miss getting to know the characters in the selection and I mean the end!! There aren't words to describe that!! The author has to right a fifth book! But all in all I loved the book it met my expectations

Kat | 387 comments I finished reading this recently and I actually thought it was better than the previous books. I liked America over Eadlyn but I liked the guy characters more in The Heir. I didn't think the ending was bad. I think she likes and may go with either Kile or Henri, or maybe Erik. There's just something not there though with each of them. Idk. I think the most frustrating thing about this book was that I didn't connect emotionally with any of the guys. I think they were interesting to read about but when it had to do with them and Eadlyn, I did care but yet I didn't care who she will go with in the end. That saying, I will read the next book, whenever it is coming out. It was just that, when I think about it I don't really mind who Eadlyn ends up with and that really irks me because I want to fill pulled towards one choice (one guy) but I couldn't and I really want to root for one of them but I can't which left me a bit disconcerted.

Oh, and I think this cover's the prettiest one yet!


Kelli McMillan (that_reading_swimmer) I loved the second book but I think the 3 book was the best!!! I was all for team Maxon!!!!!!!!!!


ella  (ellaharmon) | 255 comments The first three books were awesome!! The fourth I didn't like much though.
