This is my first Waiting on Wednesday, and I'm super excited!
The Selection by Kiera Cass
Published by HarperTeen on April 24th, 2012
For thirty-five girls, the Selection is the chance of a lifetime. The opportunity to escape the life laid out for them since birth. To be swept up in a world of glittering gowns and priceless jewels. To live in the palace and compete for the heart of the gorgeous Prince Maxon.
But for America Singer, being Selected is a nightmare. It means turning her back on her secret love with Aspen, who is a caste below her. Leaving her home to enter a fierce competition for a crown she doesn't want. Living in a palace that is constantly threatened by violent rebel attacks.
Then America meets Prince Maxon. Gradually, she starts to question all the plans she's made for herself- and realizes that the life she's always dreamed of may not compare to a future she never imagined.
Why I'm Interested:
I love this theme of novels - it sounds similar to Wither, except more amazing - and I love the cover! AND it's royalty.
This has gotten a lot of attention because of the cover, but the story sure looks good too!
