America Singer is a Five, and although herself and her family sometimes struggle to live, she's happy, because she has her boyfriend, Aspen. I am now left more frustrated than ever.įor those who haven't read The Selection - or can't remember the storyline - the story is set in the a dystopian America, where the population is divided by a caste system, with One's being royalty, and Eight's being the lowest of the low. I wasn't the biggest fan of The Selection, but I was curious to see how it continued - who would win the heart of Prince Maxon? Would America and Aspen get caught? What were the rebels going to do next? I thought The Elite would answer those questions for me, but nope. This review will most likely contain spoilers. 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.Ĭass.what's happened? What have you done?! Just when America is sure she’s made her choice, a devastating loss makes her question everything again. With the group narrowed down to the Elite, the other girls are even more determined to win Maxon over-and time is running out for America to decide. But whenever she sees Aspen standing guard around the palace, and is overcome with memories of the life they planned to share.
When she’s with Maxon, she’s swept up in their new and breathless romance, and can’t dream of being with anyone else. And only one will get to marry Prince Maxon and be crowned princess of Iléa.Īmerica still isn’t sure where her heart lies. Thirty-five girls came to the palace to compete in the Selection.
