It is the second book in the Selection series, and I've loved the books from the start. This book isn't as good as the first one, in my opinion, but it made me want to laugh and cry and scream in rage all at the same time--even though I only really screamed in rage (on several occasions) and laughed like a maniac.
Anyways... here's the overview, so you have some idea what I'm going to be obsessing about.
In America Singer’s world, a bride is chosen for the prince through an elaborate televised competition. In the second book of the Selection series, America is one of only six girls left in the running. But is it Prince Maxon—and life as the queen—she wants? Or is it Aspen, her first love?
I will now give my honest opinions...and there are many...
I liked Maxon so much better throughout the entire first book--even, honestly, before he was introduced, since I'd read the summary of the book. He was so cool--so nice and so proper and so caring, but he also could be a bit clueless and awkward.
In this book, though.... I don't know. Some things happened that had me practically screaming for her to choose Maxon, like when she was with Aspen. Then Maxon started gaining distance, throwing it between him and America. He started hanging out with the other girls more and more, and he became more involved and interested with a few of them--like Kriss and...*gulp* Celeste. He also grew colder.... but I still liked him until he did something pretty revolting.
Then I was all--America deserved it--she really did. Every time she doubted herself, she would blame him and it just infuriated me. Then he makes me go to mush all over again because he tries to make it right.
Aspen, on the other hand, doesn't believe the fact that America could want anyone besides him. He was her first love, they were engaged...but he was the one that turned on her in the very beginning of book one! It was his persuasion that landed her in the palace. In the end, though, that all changed her. She did actually fall for Maxon, even if she couldn't stop what she felt for Aspen.
She could actually have chosen Maxon and he would have been so shocked, like how dare she. You know? It got on my nerves!
Anyways, I just can't wait for the next book, so I can finally see who is selected!!
Peace out! I gotta go ta bed!!!
Thanks for reading about my crazy obsession! *wink*
Bye.
