Review: "The Selection," by Kiera Cass

Thirty-five girls are chosen to compete in the Selection - a competition designed to find the next princess of Illea who will marry Prince Maxon. When America is chosen, she knows her heart is elsewhere with her secret boyfriend Aspen, and she tells Prince Maxon exactly that. She strikes a deal to help him choose his next Princess in exchange for keeping her in the competition, but along the way, she starts to have feelings for him. Torn between her two loves, America knows she owes it to herself to see what becomes of this romance because it could lead to prosperity her family has never known.

Mrs. Denney's Rating: ***
