Book Review: The One by Kiera Cass



Goodreads Synopsis: The Selection changed the lives of thirty-five girls forever. And now, the time has come for one winner to be chosen.


America never dreamed she would find herself anywhere close to the crown—or to Prince Maxon's heart. But as the competition approaches its end and the threats outside the palace walls grow more vicious, America realizes just how much she stands to lose—and how hard she'll have to fight for the future she wants.


From the very first page of The Selection, this #1 New York Times bestselling series has captured readers' hearts and swept them away on a captivating journey... Now, in The One, Kiera Cass delivers a satisfying and unforgettable conclusion that will keep readers sighing over this electrifying fairy-tale long after the final page is turned.



Finally! The conclusion to the Selection Series! AHHHH I love how the series ended. This last book is my favorite one from the series!!! It's perfect I just can't!!!!!!!!!





DO NOT READ BEYOND THIS POINT IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE ONE BUT IT'S OK IF YOU LIKE READING SPOILERS  BEFORE READING A BOOK




I understand why it was difficult for America to choose between Aspen and Maxon. Aspen is her first love and Maxon is the gorgeous prince (hehe) but as the competition progresses we see her falling out of love for Aspen. Things are complicated between Maxon and America. Maxon wants to be fair to every one so she makes sure he spends time with each one of the girls. This makes America kind of jealous and confused. It's a competition and she knows how much each of the other girls want Maxon and the crown. America loves Maxon but she's afraid to say it because she doesn't know if Maxon feels the same way because he keeps spending time with the other girls and doing things with them. And I just...sskdjsajdba

I just get frustrated every time Maxon and America almost says i love you to each other but holds back and I'm like get your shit together guys. And they do. I'm so incredibly happy because they're happy and ever body's happy. America will always love Aspen. Aspen is like family to America now. And they'll forever care for each other.

The attacks of the rebels are getting more and more intense. There's actually a difference between the Southern and Northern rebels. The Southern rebels are the violent ones and the Northern rebels want the caste system removed but they have never killed anyone and they want to support Maxon because they know Maxon has potential to set every thing right.

Unlike the other girls, America seems to be the normal girl but she possesses great qualities. She's brave. She stands up for what is right. Even if it almost caused her removal in the competition and the further dislike of the king towards her. I love her so so much.

There may be tragic things that happened towards the end that I didn't expect and I'm sad because of that but I'm also very very happy because Maxon and America are finally together. They deserve to be together after the things (both good and bad) that they went through.

Thank you Kiera Cass for the Selection Series! It was a great journey!
