This. Was. Absofreakinlutely. Amazing! This was one hell of a rollercoaster ride. I am so happy that I decided to reread The Selection series and it will always be dear to me :) I love this book so much! The One was insanely good and it turned me into an emotional mess. In all seriousness, this book really did break my heart over and over 😭 and actually brought tears to my eyes towards the end. I mean that ending was just wow! The ending though predictable was perfect. It took my breath away. It's everything I hoped and expected it to be. It was fast-paced, enthralling, intense, emotional and very addictive. Although I love them all this was probably my favorite. Like the first two books this one made me smile a lot and within the first couple of chapters, I actually laughed out loud 😂😂😂. Dear gods, it was freaking hilarious! Everyone around me looked at me as if I was a crazy person haha. I couldn't contain it!! My love for this series has been renewed and will forever be one of my most favorites.

As for the characters they are all wonderful! I can say without a doubt that I have and always will adore both Maxon and Aspen. Both of them are incredibly sweet and charming. But I must say I have always been particularly fond of Maxon, I love the prince so much and I have also always loved America too. (America & Maxon Forever)!! America made a LOT of bad decisions. She was young yes so, of course, she made mistakes. She was very indecisive when it came to Aspen and Maxon and she was very confused by her ever-changing and involving feelings. But let's face it America never wanted to enter The Selection let alone being at the palace and she definitely didn't want a prince or the crown. She was torn between her first love and the life she thought she wanted and a Prince that was nothing she could have ever expected and was afraid of the unknown. That alone would be complicated and confusing for any young girl. Then throw in everything else... It's a lot to take in for any normal girl.

“The perfectionist, the Sweetheart, the Diva . . . and me.�

I also really like all the side characters. I love how I went from hating Celeste to loving her. I love when that happens in books. Celeste was a horrible person who did some of the most despicable things to the other girls throughout the competition. Who then finally comes to her senses once it's down to just America, Kriss, Elise and herself. She does a 180 and you finally get to see who she really is and deep down shes actually really great! The ending devastated me and I was also so broken up about Queen Amberly. I really like all the other girls too though I really wanted to hate Kriss for America's sake I just couldn't. She was such a sweetheart and I couldn't help but feel sad for her as well because her feelings for Maxon were genuine. I also really liked Georgia and August I just wish they were both in the story more, same goes for Princess Nicoletta.

Another thing I was so happy and excited about was the fact that it expanded outside of the Palace. TWICE! Some pretty crazy, scary, exciting and downright devastatingly sad stuff happens during these times. Hands down this is the most exciting book out of the three. I can't wait to move on to The Heir :)

*I love these audiobooks and this series so much! It's AMAZING!!! Amy Rubinate (the Narrator) did a spectacular job yet again. If you're an audiobook lover you MUST get this one :D Also, the cover/covers are so pretty. I recommend this series to anyone who loves a good cheesy romance!*


“You are not the world, but you are everything that makes the world good. Without you, my life would still exist, but that's all it would manage to do.�

“I want everything with you, America. I want the holidays and the birthdays, the busy season and lazy weekends. I want peanut butter fingertips on my desk. I want inside jokes and fights and everything. I want a life with you.�


I took his face in both of my hands. “Maxon Schreave, I love you. I love you.�
“And I love you, America Singer. With all that I am, I love you.�


“This isn’t happily ever after.
It’s so much more than that.�
