The Selection Series in Order
Note: This post may contain affiliate links.
I remember reading Kiera Cass’s Selection book series, but it’s time to revisit it! Especially since we know that Netflix purchased the film rights in 2020, here’s to hoping they’ll eventually move forward with it.
This is a young adult dystopian novel about a charming Prince Mazon Schreave, a first love with Aspen Leger, and a girl, America Singer, that has to make the difficult choice between the two. If you enjoy enchanting love stories, love triangles, and royalty, this is going to be the story for you.
Summary of The Selection
Prepare to be swept into a world of breathless fairy-tale romance, swoonworthy characters, glittering gowns, and fierce intrigue perfect for readers who loved Divergent, Delirium, or The Wrath & the Dawn.
For thirty-five girls, the Selection is the chance of a lifetime. The opportunity to escape a rigid caste system, live in a palace, and compete for the heart of 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, and competing for a crown she doesn’t want.
Then America meets Prince Maxon—and realizes that the life she’s always dreamed of may not compare to a future she never imagined.
