I really enjoyed it. It's pretty fast paced and I love the bachelor backstabbing part of the book. You just can't have that many girls together without a bit of fighting. 
 I really liked America. She didn't really want to be selected but continued on anyway, and she didn't follow the other girls lead in becoming a different person just to please Prince Maxon. She stayed true to herself in terms of her looks and personality. She's direct and not afraid to say so. Her first meeting with the Prince had me laughing. 
 The Selection contains a love triangle and for the first time ever I can say that (at this point anyway, book 2 could totally change this) I'd be ok with either guy. I've never not picked a guy before, and I don't have a strong feeling from the author as to which way America is leaning.
