Five Stars

I love, love, love this book! It is so unexpected, surprises one after the other, and I recommened this series to those who love this genre of fiction.
I connected so much more to this trilogy the second time around, and I am glad that I re-read it.
America, as Maxon puts it, has all of her qualities from the very begining, but the Selection process has made the qualities bloom and flourish. She is courageous even when scared, she does the right thing even if it's difficult, and she is honest about her feelings though she comes across a little fickle. She isn't fickle, I've decided (of course my opinion might not match others on it) but I see that America is a young girl who came into the Selection with a broken heart and slowly emerged into a strong young woman who realizes that things aren't what she thought they were. And she was able to adapt, to grow, and yet keep her integrity and character in check.
There are many fantastic scenes in the book that strike the heart, make your adrenaline rush with excitement, frustration, and most of all, hope.
It is clear that Maxon and America love each other, want to be with each other, but they face many things that will risk pulling them apart. You really don't know how it will all end, if it will work out well.
I stayed up after midnight to finish the book even though I had to get up early the next morning. I love the story, and am excited to read the companion novels.
If you want an inspiring read with romance, contemporary adventure, and just a fun, clean bachelor-like-show story, read this series.

I give this book Five Stars! Less cuss words than the other two books I think, the story, the characters, really brought it over the top and I can't minus a rating. Five Stars.


What's next? After the three Re-Read Reviews, now is time for a To-Read Book:


The Heir
by Kiera Cass

Synopsis:

Princess Eadlyn has grown up hearing endless stories about how her mother and father met. Twenty years ago, America Singer entered the Selection and won the heart of Prince Maxon—and they lived happily ever after. Eadlyn has always found their fairy-tale story romantic, but she has no interest in trying to repeat it. If it were up to her, she'd put off marriage for as long as possible.

But a princess's life is never entirely her own, and Eadlyn can't escape her very own Selection—no matter how fervently she protests.

Eadlyn doesn't expect her story to end in romance. But as the competition begins, one entry may just capture Eadlyn's heart, showing her all the possibilities that lie in front of her . . . and proving that finding her own happily ever after isn't as impossible as she's always thought.

I don't know how the author will top America and Maxon's love story, but I'm excited to find out!
