This is the third book in Kiera Cass' New York Times bestselling series, "The Selection" and I enjoyed it as much as book one and even more than book two. I do recommend reading this series in order. This book continues the story of America Singer's transformation from a lower caste to a national sensation with her heart for the under privileged winning her the popular vote in the "Bachelor" like contest for the heart of prince Maxom. I won't spoil the ending but there really was an ending and in that department this book outshone the other two.

People who like young adult, action, drama, romance, mystery, and good fiction.

America's love for her country and willingness to do what she felt was the right thing, even if it meant great personal cost to herself. I have loved her character and Maxom's from the beginning. In this book I felt Aspen redeemed himself, and I becan to love the Queen's character too. I think August and Georgia might have been too good to be true but loved them too.

The evil characters... one scene near the end... but it was a minor part of the book. As a whole, it was fantastic.

Breathe. I felt like I've been living America's story for the past time I've been reading this series so it was really nice to have a conclusion. Of course, it's not a true conclusion as there are at least two more books in the series but it ended at a place I felt good about for once and I'm glad.

All the feels. And like I was part of the action. It was great.

From Amazon: "Kiera Cass graduated from Radford University with a degree in History. She grew up in South Carolina and currently lives in Blacksburg, Virginia with her family.

It was a great read.

There's considerable violence.

I borrowed this book from my local library.
