Somaya's Book of the Month: November 2013


So November's book of the month is going to be different. Instead of a book, I am going to do a series!!!!! Well, its two-thirds a series. Third book still didnt come out. The Selection series is outstanding. It is a romantic, tragic and an adventurous series. There are a lot of twists and turns. 

Summary for The Selection:  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 a palace and compete for the heart of 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.

Summary for The Elite: Thirty-five girls came to the palace to compete in the Selection. All but six have been sent home. And only one will get to marry Prince Maxon and be crowned princess of Illea.

America still isn’t sure where her heart lies. When she’s with Maxon, she’s swept up in their new and breathless romance, and can’t dream of being with anyone else. But whenever she sees Aspen standing guard around the palace, and is overcome with memories of the life they planned to share. With the group narrowed down to the Elite, the other girls are even more determined to win Maxon over—and time is running out for America to decide.

Just when America is sure she’s made her choice, a devastating loss makes her question everything again. And while she’s struggling to imagine her future, the violent rebels that are determined to overthrow the monarchy are growing stronger and their plans could destroy her chance at any kind of happy ending.



So overall, I think it is an outstanding series. You can choose which teams you are on, Maxon or Aspen. To be honest, I am totally Team Maxon. I would recommend this book to anyone. The third book is coming out in the beginning of May 2014. I can not wait. It is called The One and the book cover is also out. Enjoy! :D
