The One (The Selection, #3) by Kiera Cass - Restarting June 24th 2020

[Rachael]

The Selection changed the lives of thirty-five girls forever. And now, the time has come for one winner to be chosen.

America never dreamed she would find herself anywhere close to the crown—or to Prince Maxon's heart. But as the competition approaches its end and the threats outside the palace walls grow more vicious, America realizes just how much she stands to lose—and how hard she'll have to fight for the future she wants.

From the very first page of The Selection, this #1 New York Times bestselling series has captured readers' hearts and swept them away on a captivating journey... Now, in The One, Kiera Cass delivers a satisfying and unforgettable conclusion that will keep readers sighing over this electrifying fairy-tale long after the final page is turned.

The final book in my favorite trilogy!

It is so annoying that this isn't released on kindle in the UK until June! Going to have to wait for the paperback to be delivered.

[Pim]

Sarah! I'm in the exact same situation. I'm in the UK too and it's really annoying how the kindle release is so late!

[Suzzie]

I CANNOT WAIT!!!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I know! why is the kindle version released so much later than the paperback? it's not like it will take longer to deliver!

[onceuponatimeareview]

They may have to convert it.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I doubt that will take over a month.

[onceuponatimeareview]

True probably lazy.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

they're probably worried about piracy.

[Rachael]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Abbie wrote: "Chapter 6 - [spoilers removed]"

I agree. (view spoiler)[ I don't get why he was so arsey about them telling him to marry america though, why didn't he tell them that chances were he'd chose that option without their influence? (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Sarah wrote: "Abbie wrote: "Chapter 6 - [spoilers removed]"

[Abi]

Chapter 22 - (view spoiler)[ Her father's dead?! (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Wahhhhh.. This is so weird! The Selection is so personal to me it's hard to deal with the fact that so many people know how it ends before me! I wish I could have taken the day off work to read this, I have no patience!

[Rachael]

Here's what I've got so far:

Chapter 1 (view spoiler)[ I forgot how America has become pretty good friends with Elise and Kris who really is head over heals for Maxon! What a tough situation to be in!

"According to the king, the other girls were making advances toward Maxon- physical advances- and he'd said I was far too plain to have a chance matching them in that department."
Arggg! I also forgot how despicable the king is towards America and he continues to show how opposite him and Maxom are.

Oh gosh I'm already swooning over Maxon in the first chapter (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Chapter 4 (view spoiler)[ thank god for that quick summary of where all the girls stand with Maxon! (hide spoiler)]
