What I loved: It was no secret that I loved The Selection, I have pushed that book on nearly everyone I know. I was not disappointed by the sequel. In this installment, readers are able to dig deeper into the process as well as the personal conflicts that the characters go through. The highs and lows that are weaved throughout the characters days seem natural and real. I can't imagine anyone going through a process like this and not have trust issues.

The writing is fantastic. Like the first book, the pacing is right on and the setting is described so well readers will feel a part of the story. It is close enough to be familiar but different enough to make it really fascinating.

What left me wanting more: Honestly, not much. I do wish that Maxon would be more forthcoming with his thoughts and feelings for America. Just because you feel something for someone doesn't mean that they will know that you do if you don't tell them! I can't wait to find out where their relationship stands.

Final thoughts: Fantastic follow-up and I can't wait to see what happens next!
