For some people who do not know, The Selection is a book by Kiera Cass about this girl who was chosen for the Selection, an event in which 35 of them must fight to marry the prince by winning his heart. However, it meant for America that she needed to leave a boy that she loves.

.

For the review:

Uh sorry The Selection fans but I'm gonna give it 6/10 stars. Sure, it's a good story, but the storyline is a little too predictable. Oh, I hate the prince, he took away my opportunity to date Aspen. But wait, the prince is hot, I think I love him. Predictable. It would have been a good story to read on wattpad, but since it is written by a legit author, printed out legit, nah sorry, it did not live up to my expectation. The love story is all cuddly and cute and shipable, with the prince suddenly falling in love with america because she kneed him where the sun doesn't shine. Weird huh.

Don't ask.

Apparently there are rebels who attacks the castle and shoots people too. Guards? Soldiers? Hello? And an abusive father the prince has. And also a main character who got the prince into deep trouble by always blurting out something she shouldn't have said. How thick is that? And we found out the prince's dad whips and abuses him when he has done something wrong. Great dad. Absolutely great king.

6/10 stars in total for the not-very-good storyline, totally believable thickness of characters that make you just wanna strangle or smack them. But an overall nice ending and a lot of back stabbing betrayals that is fun to read.

.

So that's the true review of the Selection in my opinion. I really wanted to smack America in the first few chapter of The One. Ugh.

Bye I'm off reading The Mortal Instruments.
