Thirty-five girls came to the palace to compete in the Selection. All but six have been sent home. And only one will get to marry Prince Maxon and be crowned princess of Illea.
America still isn’t sure where her heart lies. When she’s with Maxon, she’s swept up in their new and breathless romance, and can’t dream of being with anyone else. But whenever she sees Aspen standing guard around the palace, and is overcome with memories of the life they planned to share. With the group narrowed down to the Elite, the other girls are even more determined to win Maxon over—and time is running out for America to decide.
Just when America is sure she’s made her choice, a devastating loss makes her question everything again. And while she’s struggling to imagine her future, the violent rebels that are determined to overthrow the monarchy are growing stronger and their plans could destroy her chance at any kind of happy ending.

And this is why:
This book was simply unnecessary and should not have existed in the first place. Besides the last few girls left from the Selection, they are now called Elite. To be chosen, they must go through several challenges to compete for the Prince. Funny thing? Everyone already knows who he wants to pick and why they are there in the first place.
The main heroine,
& I finally realized what's wrong with this author's writing.. SHE DOESN'T TAKE DYSTOPIAN GENRE SERIOUSLY! Yes, there is Selection. Yes, there are couple of random attacks from the rebels. But what the hell man? Give me some weird government traditions that are not cliche and were not repeated yet.
Neither the less - I will have to read The One so I can be done with this series but you damn sure I will not be spending any money on this. Library, here I come! ;)
