Publisher's summary

The selection began with 35 girls. Now, with the group narrowed down to the Elite, the competition to win Prince Maxon's love is fiercer than ever. The closer America gets to the crown, the more she struggles to figure out where her heart truly lies. Each moment she spends with Maxon is like a fairy tale, filled with breathless, glittering romance. But whenever she sees her first love, Aspen, standing guard, she's swept up in longing for the life they'd planned to share.

America is desperate for more time. But while she's torn between her two futures, the rest of the Elite know exactly what they want - and America's chance to choose is about to slip away.

Good Follow up

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes - I have recomended the Selection to many of my friends - and you HAVE to read the next part!!

What did you like best about this story?

That I was suprised at a few things that happened - didnt see it comming and I love that!

What about Amy Rubinate’s performance did you like?

I liked the narration and thought she did a great job with different voices - I knew who was who just by her voice

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes and I did!

Any additional comments?

I was desperately waiting for this book to come out after reading - The Selection. I absolutely loved the first book - and I really liked the second. But I have to agree with other reviews - the love triangle did get a little too much attention and huge circumstances got a back seat. The back and forth with her decision was a huge rollercoaster and in the end came full circle to the same place we started. I am rooting for Maxton and hope that the third book can delve a little more into the surrounding circumstances that just America deciding one then the other.

America Stands out!

This story goes up and down, but keeps you on your feet. I love, love, the prince although he has his faults he still remains my favorite character for love with America. I can't wait the third part of this trilogy.

And immediately starting book three

I keep feeling compelled to listen! The story has me and I need the next piece. I desperately need the conclusion. Truly a mark of a great writer and narrator.

Surprisingly Good!

At first it seemed like a 2nd filled book in a series but it had some surprising twists &turns & a good ending. I'm 50 but like good YA books. I highly recommend this series.
