Never too timid to offend a prince, she makes it repeatedly clear to him that she will never cower before him or indulge him. She enters the Selection not to find wealth and luxury, but to support her family. The novel, albeit not the finest published in the young adult genre, was nevertheless a pleasurable read, with a heroine many girls could identify with – a strong girl who survives against the odds and is willing to do everything in her power to support her family and the boy she loves and hopes to marry. The long-awaited answer to whether America will get to say “I do” is finally revealed.Īmerica captured the readers’ hearts in the compulsively readable first novel of the series, The Selection, published in 2012. But the rebel threat is stronger than it ever was, and America has to decide whether she is strong enough to go against the rebels, and whether the rebels are really all they seem to be. But stakes are high, as each of the contestants seems to want to be the queen of Illea, while all America wants is Maxon’s heart. In the previous books, the trilogy’s heroine, the lovely and daring America slowly fell in love with Prince Maxon, while struggling with the rejection of her childhood sweetheart. The Selection comes to a close with The One, bringing readers back to the sumptuous, albeit dangerous world of the Court of Illea.
