PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this sequel to The Selection, America Singer continues her deliciously entertaining quest for the affection of Prince Maxon and the title of Princess of Ill a in her country's time-honored tradition. Now whittled down to six girls, the Elite, the competition has grown even more cutthroat. Though Prince Maxon has made his feelings for America known, she wavers between wanting to be his future bride and following her ever-present feelings for her first love, Aspen, a guard from her hometown who has been assigned to protect her at the palace. Like the first book in the trilogy, this installment offers delightfully royal treatment for America, cat-fighting and tension between the remaining girls, a bit of dramatic action when rebels invade the palace, and, of course, tantalizing clandestine moments with both Maxon and Aspen. America's "whatever shall I do?" musings can get a little taxing, but all in all, Cass delivers another round of enjoyable, clean, romantic fun for readers who would love to spend just one day in America's pampered shoes. Ages 13 up.

Beginning wasn’t as good as the rest
LOVED IT
So much unexpected drama ! I read it in one setting, I couldn't put the book down...I can't wait for the last book (coming out in Spring 2014).
Love, love, love!
TBH I didn't really like America as much in this book. I liked her her stubborn attitude, but in elite she became more rude. I love the book tho, and would recommend it to anyone.
