This book was amazing. So glad I decided to re-read it for the second or third time :D The one thing that shocked me was that (view spoiler) Glad it wasn't though, and that it was a gradual thing.
Why's there always that girl that's been created for readers to hate *cough cough* Celeste. She just annoys me no end. So selfish. And the way she (view spoiler)

Leer este libro fue una de las peores decisiones que he tomado. Culpo a la hermosa portada por hacerme querer leerlo. Es hermosa, la portada es una de las más lindas que he visto.

La Selección es uno de esos libros que prometen ser lo mejor, pero qu

This book was interesting. Not sure what I think about America. I do like Marlee, Aspen, and Maxon. I'm not a fan of Celeste though. I'm curious to know what the rebels want. ...more

"What do you think my chances might be of finding a soul mate in the group of you? I'll be lucky if I can just find someone who'll be able to stand me for the rest of our lives. What if I've already sent her home because I was relying on some sort of spark I didn't feel? What if she's waiting to leave me at the first sign of adversity? What if I don't find anyone at all? What do I do then, America?"

Shit, summaries in book reviews are the hardest part. Cause it's like, I can't b
