I did like the ending - it is very sweet and charming...it just took too far long to happen. There was too much filler drama inserted just to keep the plot going. With a whole lot of heartbreak. At long last Rebecca (Hannah Ware), the founder and CEO of The One, told her match Matheus (Albano Jeronimo) what happened to her murdered former friend. If you need a refresher, the formula that would turn into the mega-successful company The One was developed by James’ (Dimitri Leonidas) research with ants and Rebecca’s belief that research could translate into soulmates for people. All that they needed was a sample to prove that their theory worked. There was a long moment of silence before he lost his temper. “I will not have anyone else telling me who I can and cannot marry! This is my life you’re playing games with!” Don't know about the first part, but the second is definitely true. America... How do I even describe her? She's so flat and uninteresting that I don't even have any colorful adjectives. I hated Maxon more than I hated her, but that was how little of an impression she made. I don't know if it's Cass's writing style or the characterization, but she will forever sound like a child to me. A spoiled, self-obsessed child who thinks she understands the world, mostly because the idiots around her inflate her already balloonish head. Yes, she's a total Mary Sue with her crying and fainting, but she's also kind of an ignorant bitch.

Like when you have four girlfriends whose entire life purpose is being constantly available to you until you fall in love with them and/or decide they’re the best strategic choice for a life partner. This. Was. Absofreakinlutely. Amazing! This was one hell of a rollercoaster ride. I am so happy that I decided to reread The Selection series and it will always be dear to me :) I love this book so much! The One was insanely good and it turned me into an emotional mess. In all seriousness, this book really did break my heart over and over 😭 and actually brought tears to my eyes towards the end. I mean that ending was just wow! The ending though predictable was perfect. It took my breath away. It's everything I hoped and expected it to be. It was fast-paced, enthralling, intense, emotional and very addictive. Although I love them all this was probably my favorite. Like the first two books this one made me smile a lot and within the first couple of chapters, I actually laughed out loud 😂😂😂. Dear gods, it was freaking hilarious! Everyone around me looked at me as if I was a crazy person haha. I couldn't contain it!! My love for this series has been renewed and will forever be one of my most favorites. One morning, America finds Celeste crying alone in the library, because of the sudden popularity America gained after the last Report. Celeste admits that she is jealous of her and afraid of her own future, because her career as a model will finish when she grows older. She needs the crown's fame more than she needs Maxon's love. She apologizes to America for the bad things she has done during the Selection and they become friendlier with each other. Kate ends the season frustrated. She’s been unable to prove that Rebecca has done anything illegal, she has a partner who won’t stop lying, and slowly she’s becoming convinced that she’s not even Sophia’s only match. This relationship seems doomed, and if there’s a second season we’re likely going to see it crumble.

Stream It Or Skip It: 'A Nearly Normal Family' On Netflix, Where A Family's Secrets Come Out When The Daughter Is Accused Of Murder I had the lowest of the low expectations for this book. I wanted to throw The Elite out of the window. I wanted to throw this one out of the window too. But I was less inclined to. I still firmly believe this trilogy could have been a duology, even one book without all the redundant political situations that weren't even portatryed right! I was satisfied with the ending, it was predictable, cheesy, far-fetched, too neat, but solid. Haine, Alice (24 July 2013). "Actions speak louder than to-do lists". The National .

In those seconds, I was mourning everything I'd lost. How I'd never get to see you walk down an aisle toward me, how I'd never get to see your face in our children, how I'd never get to see streaks of silver in your hair. But, at the same time, I couldn't be bothered. If me dying meant you living, how could that be anything but good?” The love triangle will be the death of me, but I guess I have that in common with the all the characters that simply died for no reason. This book basically says that cheating on your significant other is fine, because love can overcome even that. And then the book ended, everyone is happy, Maxon and America are married, yay, end of story. Thanks for the torture. Gillian: Do you want to talk about how pointless (and predictable) it was that SPOILER and SPOILER were secretly Good Rebels even though nothing came of that information.

Y qué decir de Maxon y America! He aquí mis adjetivos para describirlos a ellos y su relación: frustrante, entretenida, tierna, desesperante, ideal, preciosa, frustrante, romántica... ¿ya dije frustrante? Creo que hay pocas parejas literarias con las que haya sufrido tanto como con estos dos. Es decir, desde el primer libro sientes que deben acabar juntos, que pelean, pero que están hechos el uno para el otro. La cosa con ellos es que son terriblemente orgullosos y muy inseguros de lo que siente el uno por el otro, y eso es algo que Kiera Cass sabe explotar al máximo. Tanto así que, incluso cuando faltan 30 páginas para acabar el libro, sigues dudando de si Maxon escogerá a America como ganadora de la Selección. Shahid, Umnia (20 March 2016).

Speaking of, that possibility has been haunting Kate (Zoe Tapper), the police officer who has been investigating Ben’s death as well as Rebecca’s many crimes. Shortly after Kate was matched with Sophia (Jana Pérez) using The One, Sophia agreed to go to London to meet her. That’s when Sophia got into an accident that landed her in the hospital and Kate learned the truth. Sophia wasn’t single like she originally claimed but married. Not only that, but she was also lying about not having a family. Also - did the king give the rebels a spare key? How do they break into the palace every other week? How? While this book is very dumb (and that’s basically a fact at this point), it’s not horrible or grueling to read or anything.

As for the characters they are all wonderful! I can say without a doubt that I have and always will adore both Maxon and Aspen. Both of them are incredibly sweet and charming. But I must say I have always been particularly fond of Maxon, I love the prince so much and I have also always loved America too. (America & Maxon Forever)!! America made a LOT of bad decisions. She was young yes so, of course, she made mistakes. She was very indecisive when it came to Aspen and Maxon and she was very confused by her ever-changing and involving feelings. But let's face it America never wanted to enter The Selection let alone being at the palace and she definitely didn't want a prince or the crown. She was torn between her first love and the life she thought she wanted and a Prince that was nothing she could have ever expected and was afraid of the unknown. That alone would be complicated and confusing for any young girl. Then throw in everything else... It's a lot to take in for any normal girl. a b Osorio, Bong R. (10 January 2016).

Or when you decide to spend a summer afternoon doing some light diplomacy at a tea party. Just for sh*ts and giggles. As noted, there is something fairly profound and potentially earthshaking about the notion that the unending quest for love can be simply answered with information in a strand of hair, but “The One” periodically loses sight of that in emphasizing its crime/caper components.

Needless to say, even now, I'm still totally Team Maxon. But I'm Team Maxon 'Who Actually Has A Detailed & Varying Range of Emotions'. I was promised character development for Celeste, but that is not what development entails. It was so lame, she's still shallow and her motives do not make her any more lovable or better. It just confirms what America has been complaining about the past 2 books.
