The book i decided to talk about this time is called, The Selection. The Selection is a book i have never heard of, until 3 months ago where i saw it in the Library. This book is Fiction, and is about a girl who has to face poverty in Castes which are sort of ratings given to humans whether they are rich which is cast one, to caste 8 meaning they are the poorest of all castes. The setting takes place in future day Oklahoma. All of the present day technology seemed to disappear in this book in the future, which is a big reason to why i like this book, because it doesn't focus on that topic at all. The main characters in this book are America, Aspen, and Prince Maxon. America is a teenage girl living in present day Oklahoma, and is rated in caste 5. She never wanted to sign up for the selection. She was and is still in love with her ex, Aspen. And her thoughts on Prince Maxon change completely. Aspen is a 6, and is born to serve others, which is a down low. Aspen thought breaking up with America was the right thing, but turned as the complete opposite. Aspen became the Father of two little sisters, and his mom who are all counting on his hard work ever since their Father died just a few years ago. Prince Maxon is a 1. The Royal Family. The whole Selection was due to him, and his decision becomes a little harder knowing he ask to pick one out of thirty five girls. And the one he loves, is torn between him and Aspen. I think the most exciting thing about this book is when America realizes she is still in love with her soul mate Aspen, and that her feelings changer completely about Prince Maxon. This book would be interesting to those who like to read Romance. Which I think would go better to adolescent girls only because its in a all girls P.O.V. I recommend this book to those who like to read fantasy and romance.
