THE SELECTION by Kiera CassSYNOPSIS:
For thirty-five girls, the Selection is the chance of a lifetime. The opportunity to escape the life laid out for them since birth. To be swept up in a world of glittering gowns and priceless jewels. To live in the palace and compete for the heart of the gorgeous Prince Maxon.
But for America Singer, being Selected is a nightmare. It means turning her back on her secret love with Aspen, who is a caste below her. Leaving her home to enter a fierce competition for a crown she doesn't want. Living in a palace that is constantly threatened by violent rebel attacks.
Then America meets Prince Maxon. Gradually, she starts to question all the plans she's made for herself- and realizes that the life she's always dreamed of may not compare to a future she never imagined.
Again with the gorgeous dresses and breathtaking beauty on the cover! This one sounds like it both a clever twist on an old tale and a refreshing new topis yet to be discussed in YA books. I am hoping it will not be too over-the-top with glitz, as those books tend to alienate me from the charters. But I will definitely be giving this novel a shot!
Release Date: April 24, 2012
