Above you can see the trailer of a Netflix TV series based on a book I started reading yesterday. It is a dystopian, young adult romance novel first published in 2012 and written by Kiera Cass. It is the first of a five-book collection.
So far I'm enjoying it and find it engrossing and easy to follow.
It's rated 4.07 on Goodreads and this is their plot summary:
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 a palace and compete for the heart of 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 realises that the life she's always dreamed of may not compare to a future she never imagined.
