The book The Selection is the first book in the Selection series and is about America who is somehow swept into possibly becoming the next princess of Ilia. In the selection, America makes many friends and enemies. She has to choose between her feelings and her perspective of what should be right. With lots of adventure and mystery America has to decide who her heart belongs to before it’s too late. I love how this book is from America's point of view so you know what she's thinking. My favorite characters are Lucy and Marleen because they are both so kind and friendly. I like how this book includes romance but also mystery and adventure. I would recommend this book to middle and high school-age students. In conclusion, if you want a romantic book with lots of plot twists and cliff hangers you should read the book The Selection.
