"Sixteen-year-old America Singer is living in the caste-divided nation of Illea, which formed after the war that destroyed the United States. America is chosen to compete in the Selection--a contest to see which girl can win the heart of Illea's prince--but all she really wants is a chance for a future with her secret love, Aspen, who is a caste below her"--

Meh... Basically like a season of The Bachelor only with teenagers and set in a dystopian society. It was entertaining enough that I want to read the next book, but not something I'll be raving about to others. Good mindless reading. The writing was a little more juvenile than i prefer in my YA books, but I supposed the target audience is tween and young teen girls who may not be bothered by that.

All in all, entertaining but definitely did not blow me away.
