The Selection by Kiera Cass, is a story about a seventeen-year-old girl named America Singer who enters the Selection, a lottery in which girls from all castes get to compete for the heart of Prince Maxon. To every girl this is an opportunity of a lifetime, but for America, being selected would be a nightmare. It would mean giving up her secret love for Aspen and leaving her home to fight for a crown she doesn't want, but then America meets Prince Maxon, and everything changes.
In The Selection, there are eight castes, eight being the lowest and one being the best. America lives in caste five, where food is not the best quality. In the lower castes, food is very scarce, people are poor, and lots of people are servants. This relates to history when the great depression happened and everyone was poor, starving, and sick. It even relates to today when the rich people (representing the first three castes) have a bunch of money and food while the poor people (representing the lower castes) starve. One other similarity is to the Bachelorette and the Selection because they are both competing for someone's heart/love.
This book is so good that I couldn't even put it down! It makes me want to get all the other books to the series. I love the way the author wrote this book and how they thought of this idea. All the characters are amazing. I noticed how their society is different from ours and how they live is interesting. I suggest this book to people who love young adult fiction, fantasy, and science fiction. It was a brilliant and engaging story that had my head stuck the book!
