For thirty-five girls, the Selection is the chance of a lifetime. The opportunity to escape the life laid out for them since birth. To be swept up in a world of glittering gowns and priceless jewels. To live in the palace and compete for the heart of the gorgeous Prince Maxon.
But for America Singer, being Selected is a nightmare. It means turning her back on her secret love with Aspen, who is a caste below her. Leaving her home to enter a fierce competition for a crown she doesn't want. Living in a palace that is constantly threatened by violent rebel attacks.
Then America meets Prince Maxon. Gradually, she starts to question all the plans she's made for herself- and realizes that the life she's always dreamed of may not compare to a future she never imagined.
First WoW post of 2012 :) This week's feature is The Selection by Kiera Cass. There's something very striking about the cover, all the feathers and gowns and fractured reflections. A little reminiscent of Black Swan. And in light of the recent royal wedding, princes and princesses and weddings are certainly very much in society's mind currently.
The synopsis sounds great too. America sounds like a very intriguing leading lady, to find something so coveted by others a nightmare.
What're you waiting on this Wednesday?!

Holy WOW - that cover is all sorts of AMAZING! I would totally snatch this book up by looks alone (although I know that I shouldn't be so superficial!).
I am definitely marking this book down as a MUST READ & HAVE :)
Hehe, I know, right? There's something very striking about the cover! Couple more months until the release though
