Josie was kind-of irritating. It just seems too obvious for her to end up with Kile though.

[Rachael]

I agree

[Rachael]

Chapter 19 (view spoiler)[ I personally think everyone is over reacting a bit about Jack.. Sure he should go home and he's kind of weird but I don't think he needed to be punched and publicly shamed (hide spoiler)]

[Jamie]

Rachael wrote: "Chapter 10 [spoilers removed]"

I fully agree!

[Jamie]

CH 15 (view spoiler)[ So at first I hated Hale for the arrogant 2 comment and while he seems sincere something feels a bit off about him. Like he tried to appeal to her royal side with that first comment and it failed and now he changed tactics. I could be totally off but time will tell. I think she will really come to like Erik which will be a problem since he is not in the selection. And the Kile progress is and has been too obvious.

And sheesh is she making a ton of bad moves in how to handle things! That elimination was could and crass! I thought that staged kiss would have backfired more too but guess not. She really needs an ego check! (hide spoiler)]

Well she has been (view spoiler)[bragging about how she came to the world 7 minutes earlier than her brother and then complaining to her brother about what being born 7 minutes did to her! I'm not liking her attitude at the moment but I can see change coming soon :) (hide spoiler)]

[Berit☀️✨]

You will learn to love her, I honestly think I might have liked her better than America by the end of the book, I'm not quite sure though :-)

[Rachael]

WHAT!!! No way, America is/was my fave character ever

[Rachael]

Chapter 21 (view spoiler)[ That's very brave of Ean to make an offer like that... It doesn't sit well with me though and I can't believe she would even consider it. She doesn't know anything about him! He could have her killed or something so that he could become King.. Also, has anyone noticed how many times the author mentions Maxon looking tired? I'm nervous that she is preparing us for something bad to happen to him.... (hide spoiler)]

Well she has been [spoilers removed]"

Oh, I see changes coming in her. She has some hard lessons to learn along the way.

[Noella]

chapter 10
(view spoiler)[Ehh Eadlyn expects 'her subjects' to love her but she hasn't done anything except living in the palace and looking pretty. >.> anyway, the standout candidates are Henri and Ean at the moment :) (hide spoiler)]

[Jamie]

CH 27: (view spoiler)[Oh Henri is so sweet! Glad she is finally starting to get that she is not all that she thought she was, powerful or not. (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Chapter 25 (view spoiler)[ YES! Go Kaden.. the no filter opinion of a fourteen year old was spot on (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Chapter 29 (view spoiler)[ What Erik said about Henri is so cute.. "There is no it.. He wants you" and about how he studies her brothers to try and stand/walk like them. (hide spoiler)]

[Jamie]

Done! (view spoiler)[ Tearfulending! Not sure I like things left there. While I get what her brother did to an extent it wasn't fair to family or friends who wanted to support them and Camille even said the Selection wasn't the time for an engagement but eloping is okay?! (hide spoiler)] I don't want to wait 11 months for the next book!!!

[Rachael]

Finished! Went ahead and changed my 3 star rating to a 4 star rating Re-reading it was really beneficial. (view spoiler)[ I still think something is going to happen to Maxon. I think America's heart attack is a decoy to make us think she will die but it will end up being a shocking twist and Maxon will die. I don't know.. I just think in Kiera Cass's true fashion she is going to kill people off in the next book. I also think that Eadlyn is going to demolish the Monarchy in the next book. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Jack was a bit creepy but I agree, overreaction. Shows how Eadlyn is loved by her brothers though :) (hide spoiler)]

[Noella]

Jamie wrote: "CH 15"
I wish (view spoiler)[she'd just be herself. She's making everything so staged by paying so much attention the cameras and instructing guys on how to act. (hide spoiler)]

Interesting! Did you change the format (audiobook as opposed to text)?

[Rachael]

Yes! I read it as opposed to listen.. It's a known fact that reading is better than listening but sometimes I just don't have the time!

[Noella]

Chapter 27
(view spoiler)[Henri is sweet but the language barrier is too great ! (hide spoiler)]

[Noella]

Finished
(view spoiler)[Gee, how could it end there! One moment it's cheerful (Eadlyn, her parents and the selection playing a fun ball game) and the next, her brother elopes and America has a heart attack! (hide spoiler)]

[Gayatri]

I'm gonna start this book :)

[Edit~A]

Me too :)

[Gayatri]

Starting (view spoiler)[ Right now I find Eadlyn a selfish brat but, that somehow makes it more real weirdly. I don't know. She's never experienced anything except riches and comfort so can you blame her? There are times when she is so sweet though and makes me laugh (hide spoiler)]

[Gayatri]

50% (view spoiler)[ I loved how some of the guys are so sweet! I love Kile & Henri. There is something about Ean I do not like. I can't put my finger on it. Eadlyn is really irritating sometimes. :( (hide spoiler)]

[Gayatri]

finished (view spoiler)[ well that was a whirlwind last few chapters. I hope America is okay! I need the book so bad! I can't believe Ahren left like that though Eadlyn did need a reality check! I think she got one. Hopefully she will wear her heart on her sleeve from now onwards. She had huge character growth (hide spoiler)]

[Edit~A]

I'm starting now!

[Edit~A]

75% it's really fun! Nice to see The Selection from girl's perspective!

[Edit~A]

Just finished! It was sooo good, I had fun reading it, well sometimes I wanted to kill someone but it was an amazing work, as expected! But the cliffhanger at the end... Ugh... I hate those >.<

[Reading Rediscovered]

Chapter 3 (view spoiler)[ Eadlyn is quite spoiled & I'm actually disliking her right now. I want to like her, but she's just making it so darn hard! (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 7(view spoiler)[ Kile's name in the basket is just like Harry's name in the Goblet of Fire! (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 11 (view spoiler)[ The way she just got rid of 11 may have 'looked' like she was taking the Selection seriously, girl, you have a lot to learn about tact & being kind & respecting a man, even if you are rejecting him! (hide spoiler)]

[Reading Rediscovered]

Chapter 15(view spoiler)[ I dislike Josie. I'm trying to like her because she's Marlee's daughter, but I just really don't! She's so spoiled & she thinks she's royalty but has no clue about her real role in life! Ugh! (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 18(view spoiler)[ I know it's set up this way but I'm really rooting for Kyle & Eadlyn to get together! And I hope she can get over her nervousness about sharing things about herself (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 19(view spoiler)[ Ugh! Jack was such a creep! I'm glad he's gone! (hide spoiler)]

[Reading Rediscovered]

Chapter 19 (view spoiler)[ Jack is awful! I'm glad he's gone! (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 20 (view spoiler)[ The game show was fun! And it had a good purpose of getting to know the guys and testing their knowledge of the country! (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 22(view spoiler)[ I'm not quite sure how I feel about Ean. I think he might have some issues later on. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 23 (view spoiler)[ The cooking date was going so well & then Baden just had to let his temper get the best of him - not smart! (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 24 (view spoiler)[ Hmmm...perhaps Erik will be a candidate even though he's not actually one of them? He seems to have a lot of characteristics that fit well with Eadlyn's personality and what she needs from a future husband. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 25 (view spoiler)[ Ok...I still think I like Kile the best but maybe I'm just rooting for the home town hero. (hide spoiler)]

[Reading Rediscovered]

Chapter 32 (view spoiler)[ Ahren's note to Eadlyn was so hard-hitting and so perfect! He had all the right words to tell her exactly what she needed to hear so she can be better and hopefully stop some of the risings in the provinces. (hide spoiler)]
End (view spoiler)[ SO NOT FAIR! I knew it was getting close to the end but then to throw America's heart attack in there plus Ahren leaving & Eadlyn's decision to really take the Selection seriously - and then to end the book! GAH! How long do I have to wait for the next book now?! (hide spoiler)]

[Rachel]

Chapter 2 (view spoiler)[ Eadlyn seems a bit spoilt with all her massages and desert flown in just for her! I was on her side though about a selection! I wouldn't want to be forced into that either (hide spoiler)]

[Rachel]

Chapter 7 (view spoiler)[ I had a feeling Kile would be one of the Selection candidates. I'm not won over by Eadlyn yet, she whines a lot! (hide spoiler)]

[Rachel]

Chapter 13 (view spoiler)[ i haven't got many thoughts on who Eadlyn id going to go for yet...i've got a feeling there will end up being a love triangle like in the other books. I imagine Kile will be one of the guys! (hide spoiler)]

[Rachel]

Chapter 18 (view spoiler)[ I'm warming up to Eadlyn but there are still parts of her personality that I really don't like! The way she spoke to Neena really wasn't very nice, then she didn't see how she was even wrong at all! She can be quite full of herself at times too (hide spoiler)]

[Rachel]

Chapter 28 (view spoiler)[ Henri is sweet but the language barrier is definitely a problem! (hide spoiler)]

[Presiana]

Rachel wrote: "Chapter 7 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ Same here! Eadlyn is annoying me at the moment but I believe she will change... and I think that she will eventually fall in love with Kile but it's just a theory. (hide spoiler)]

[Presiana]

Chapter 15 (view spoiler)[ I don't think Hale is completely honest at the moment... he changed too much from their first meeting. I really like Erik... maybe something will happen between them even though he isn't in the selection. But still there is Kile... (hide spoiler)]

[Presiana]

Chapter 20 (view spoiler)[ Jack was awful!! He deserved worse... but her brothers are so sweet. (hide spoiler)]

[Presiana]

finished (view spoiler)[ the ending was so emotional.. I hope the Queen is going to be okay. I really like Erik and Kile at the moment but all the other boys look very kind and sweet. Aaron was my favourite so I'm really happy he went to France to seek his own happiness.... after everything I am certain that Eadlyn will be a different person in the next book! (hide spoiler)]

[Adriana]

Starting this early because I just need to.

[Adriana]

ch. 1 (view spoiler)[ I love that Eadyln and her generation would think the castes were wrong and make no sense. They did right by Illea.

Yes! No one is as powerful as you. Her confidence plus being raised by her parents. She'll be awesome.

Poor Eadyln. You are going to fall in love.

Hmmm... I wonder if she will dissolve the monarchy. (hide spoiler)]

[Laura]

I'll start tomorrow :)

[Adriana]

ch. 2 (view spoiler)[He followed her everywhere!!!

Eadyln has so much growing up to do. But I wouldn't want to go on with the Selection either. I'm surprised and not surprised her parents want her to do it. America in the past I don't think would have wanted that but it turned out so well that maybe that's why they both think it's a good idea. (hide spoiler)]

[Adriana]

ch. 3 (view spoiler)[Ooh! Her words about a guard. Doesn't she know her mother was in love with one? She needs to get out of the castle and see how others live. She's kind of a brat.

Yes! She's going to eat her words and fall in love with Kile isn't she? (hide spoiler)]
