![]() ![]() The protagonist is selfish and irritating, the setting is implausible and makes little sense, and the plot is basically non-existent. Actually, let me clarify: it’s a book that I find nauseatingly terrible (despite it being a bestseller), and I have too much to say about what I don’t like about it. I have tried to write a review of The Selection several times, but it’s a book that I find difficult to analyse. Can America Singer, a lowly 4th caste, possibly manage to survive this competition? Will her broken heart be mended by the prince, or will she forever be unable to love again after her lover Aspen abandoned her? Will she ever learn to stop being the worst protagonist imaginable? ![]() However, Illea is embroiled in war and rebels are attacking the castle. The prince of the nation is of age and needs to find a wife, and thirty-five young women are randomly picked to compete to be the new princess. ![]() The story begins in a country called Illea, a monarchy that stretches throughout most of North and South America. ![]() The Selection has been described as a cross between the Hunger Games and The Bachelor. ![]()
