I throughly enjoyed the first book of the Selection series - gotta love a good fairy tale/reality show/young adult novel about our heroine America Singer and the two loves of her life - guard and first love Aspen and Prince Maxon. America is competing with other girls for the love of Prince Maxon. This is the third book - The One - that wraps up the storyline. It's been almost a year wait for this book to finish the series so I had kinda forgotten where we left off in book two.
This was an okay finale. I felt like there were many holes in the story with rebels, America's parents, America's unresolved relationship with Aspen, and America's reluctance to tell Prince Maxon her feelings. I did like seeing the growth in America as she matures in the palace and her budding relationship with the other contestants.
I think this series would make a great movie- don't feel like there is enough material for 3 movies - could just make one. I'd give The One probably 3 3/4 stars - would recommend to any teenager or anyone who likes dystopian YA fiction.
