"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"--
Okay... So the blurb of this companion novel tells us that there was another girl in Maxon's life. Yeah, no. Wrong. Kind of. I have no idea why the blurb was written like that!
This story was so sweet. Especially when the Selection started. It was so nice to see everything from Maxon's POV. It can't always be easy being the son of a king and this story deals with that. I liked how realistic Maxon's reaction to the Selection was. I'd definitely read a whole book from his POV!
