"Thirty-five girls came to the palace to compete in the Selection. All but six have been sent home. And only one will get to marry Prince Maxon and be crowned princess of Illea.

America still isn’t sure where her 심장 lies. When she’s with Maxon, she’s swept up in their new and breathless romance, and can’t dream of being with anyone else. But whenever she sees Aspen standing guard around the palace, she is overcome with memories of the life they planned to share. With the group narrowed down to the Elite, the other girls are even 더 많이 determined to win Maxon over—and time is running out for America to decide.

Just when America is sure she’s made her choice, a devastating loss makes her 질문 everything again. And while she’s struggling to imagine her future, the violent rebels that are determined to overthrow the monarchy are growing stronger and their plans could destroy her chance at any kind of happy ending."

wisdomkid08 I'm actually really disappointed in this series. Don't get me wrong, I'm gonna continue to read it, but oh my GOODNESS The Elite ticked me off! The Selection started out okay, a little dull and superfluous at times, but a good read nonetheless. The Elite however...It made me brazenly hate America as a character, and there is so much pointless filler nonsense strewn through the novel just to take up space. I had assumed, as had most fans, that this would further the selection along by eliminating more than only one or two girls. And don't get me started on the love triangle, I really just don't even care anymore who she picks (it's obvious it'll be Maxon), it's just America's reactions regarding every aspect of her relationships. She BLOWS UP at Maxon for kissing Celseste-WHICH HE IS OBLIGATED TO DO, while, all this time SHE has been infidel. It's just irritating. Still I'm looking forward to the next book. I hope it can elevate the series past the horrible level Elite dragged it down to...
