The Selection- Kiera Cass

Book 21 of My Summer Reading Challenge

My rating: 3/5 stars

**Book provided via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review**

I have really mixed views on this book, I did like it and I thought that the concept and the story was something a bit different and original. It did remind me a bit of the Queenstrial in 'Red Queen' (Although this book was released first) and also it reminded me of 'The Hunger Games' of how a girl from each province is selected to take part until there is a winner when one is left. Even though there is no one dying in this book. Also, I love Silvia, she reminds me so much of Effie (Who I adore).

Even though I really did enjoy some parts of this book, I just thought that nothing really happened which was interesting enough to give the book more than 3 stars. I was hoping that there would be some twists and that Marlee would be on the same level of evil as Celeste and that she had a plot to take the crown. I was so disappointed that there wasn't. I just feel like this book could of gone down so many different directions which would of made it a great story but it just didn't and I found it a bit boring if I am totally honest.
