"Love is beautiful fear."

Do I love Maxon? That would be like asking if I loved the idea of happily ever after. Of course, I do. Blonde hair, baby-faced, and beautiful, what more could America ask for? Oh! I almost forgot! He's also a prince with lots of money and lots of connections. He also has a gigantic, secret room dedicated to books... :) Doesn't that sound lovely? Did I mention he's a prince?
And that seems to be the only thing America Singer is worried about.
The Selection started with 35 girls. Now there is only six. America knows Maxon would be hers if she only told him. But there's that pesky Aspen to consider. How the heck did he get in the castle? So he's a guard now? Good for him...
America isn't only choosing between loves. She's choosing between the life she had planned and a life she thought she would never see.
This novel is as pretty and as sweet as a pastry. I gobbled it up in two days. It's charming and warm and just all together lovely. The writing was fast and friendly, like talking to a best friend.
Maybe I'm not voting for Maxon or Aspen. Maybe I'm rooting for America. I think she would make a wonderful queen.
