The Selection by Kiera Cass

For some girls, the Selection is the chance of a lifetime. The opportunity to esca

pe the life laid out for them since they were born. To live in a place full of diamond crowns and priceless jewels. To live in a palace and compete for the heart of Prince Maxon.

But for America Singer, being Selected is a nightmare. It means she can't be with Aspen, her secret love, who is a class below her. Leaving her home to enter a competition for a crown she doesn't want. Living in a palace that is always threatened by dangerous rebel attacks.

Then America meets Prince Maxon. Gradually, she starts to question all the plans she's made for herself—and notice that the life she's always dreamed of may not compare to a future she never thought about.

“America Singer, one day you will fall asleep in my arms every night. And you'll wake up to my kisses every morning.”
