Very much a guilty pleasure book. Tons of other young adult books have done the tropes that are in The Elite and they've done it better but I do still enjoy this series. 
 I have listened to this book twice now on Audible (realized about half way through the read that I already knew what was going to happen!) The narrator on the audiobook is a bit annoying. I know the girls are young but the narrator makes them seem even younger and very hard for me to identify with as a more mature reader. 
 The love triangle on love triangle trope is pretty played out at this point and so is the dystopian world. However, I will still continue The Selection series as they are such easy reads that I want to read the complete series and check it off my list!
