I feel a lot of emotions about this final book of The Selection series. To effectively rate this book I think I have to rate it in halves. 
 The first half would be a 2.5 star read for me. Well, really up until around page 150. There was almost no romance and while I get that there was a bigger picture, this whole series has been like reading the book version of the bachelor/bachelorette. There was so much "work" Eadlyn was doing and YES I know there is more to life than romance but I just felt let down. 
 The second half was hard to love as well but for a totally different reason. It was maybe a 3 star read. She found love. She picked who I WAS ROOTING FOR but for the life of me I couldn't love their love story. I wasn't convinced of their feelings for one another. It all happened at the last moment and happened way too fast. 
 I literally feel like the worlds worst person in this review because I absolutely love Kiera Cass. I am beyond obsessed with The Selection, The Elite and The One. I truly enjoyed The Heir and was really looking forward to the finale to this amazing story. Maybe I built it up in my head too much because I really didn't LOVE it with all my heart like I have with the others.
