it was amazing
bookshelves: owned, ya

** spoiler alert ** I really really was enjoying this until page 190 or so. Then Aspen came back and I HATE HIS CHARACTER UGH
He made America be all stupid and Maxon is so perfect just annoying.
I did enjoy the America and Maxon romance though.
It was a cute quick read!

“America Singer, one day you will fall asleep in my arms every night. And you'll wake up to my kisses every morning.”
Kiera Cass, The Selection

Kiera Cass
“Maxon lowered his lips to mine and gave me the faintest whisper of a kiss.

Something about the tentativeness of it made me feel beautiful. Without a word, I could understand how excited he was to have this moment, but then afraid at the same time. And deeper than any of that, I sensed that he adored me.

So this is what it felt like to be a lady.”

How can Aspen coming be horrible? She's the horrible one for getting over him for less than a freaking month. And I really, truly want to ask a question. What's so swoony and amazing about Maxon?


Anoushka van Rijnsoever Could you tell me (spoiler free) why'd you liked it so much?

message 8: by emma (new) - added it

emma ahmed I’ve read this book so many times and every time I find myself yelling at Aspen for ruining everything


Cierra Honestly,I was hoping Kiera Cass would kill Aspen off (I know,awful,I feel guilty,but I can’t stand his character) AMERICA AND MAXON FOR LIFE!


message 10: by Kiran (new) - rated it2stars

Kiran Aspen got on my nerves as well.


message 11: by Nora (new) - rated it3stars

Nora Amel I actually liked Aspen in the first few chapters. But then Maxon happened and i started loving him and then Aspen HAD TO COME BACK URGHHHH It's not as much as me hating as it is him messing up America's life all over again


message 12: by Bri (new) - rated it4stars

Bri My thoughts exactly!!!


Danielle Aspen literally sucks. And personally I feel like he was really not great for America. She was a girl with him but when he left her she turned into a woman!
To be honest though let’s not forget she’s only about 15... I feel like these books really gloss over some stuff we should be thinking more about. And I feel like America should just be her own person who’s personality and character development doesn’t rely on men.


Shrusti I totally agree!!


message 15: by Aria (new) - rated it4stars

Aria Yess I so agree!


message 16: by Regina (new) - rated it5stars

Regina I HATE ASPEN SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH LIKE YOU HAVE NOOOOO IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!!


message 17: by Arish (new) - rated it4stars

Arish Yeah, Aspen seemed like a jerk... and after reading the Maxon character I cant even stand Aspen.


message 18: by Rebecca (new) - added it

Rebecca So at first I liked Aspen and i liked how they were breaking the rules and he was sweet with the pennies. But then he had to go and break her heart which is understandable because he feels so worthless that he is dating someone in secret and the can afford better stuff. So i felt bad for the character n stuff. But when Mason showed up i had mixed feelings as a character but soon I realized how sweet he was. So when Aspen came back i was like go away.


message 19: by Annie (new) - rated it4stars

message 22: by Emily (new) - rated it4stars

Emily Rose Yes so true he is such an annoying person and just returns and America lets him get close to her after what he's done?? Like srsly good logic America Singer


Thérèse I agree with you about hateing the Aspen guy and when he came back he just ruined the rest of the book for me.


message 24: by Isabel (new) - rated it5stars
