So, you see my rating, and you're probably like, ONE STAR? And my answer is yes, one star. I spent a good hour thinking about a reason, any reason to rate it two, but I can't. This was just one books of those books that was not my cup of tea. Which, by the way, is extremely disappointing, considering that I really did like the first book. *sigh*I don't like to bash books and insult the author, but I will say why I did give it such a low rating, in a hopefully non-rude way. *My Opinion. Just aAll right, boys and girls, Im back for round two. A year late, but Ill try to get to The One right after this.In my review of The Selection, I already covered the larger issues this series has. Im just going to go through this book roughly chronologically and list all the places I eyerolled so hard I saw my brain. Sometimes, I grew extra eyes just so I could side-eye this book some more.(ETA: This list will continue to grow as I complete my reread) 1. REBELS. Seriously, palace people. GET SOME
7-1-2012: 3:48 PM. Yay! It has a name! I'm so excited for this book! 8-7-2012: 4:19 PM. Why does this have likes?! Haha. I can't wait for the cover! I heard Cass has seen it! Of course, I'd prefer to have a male on the cover. Not JUST a male, maybe a well-dressed Maxon (with his face concealed [I hate when publishers put non-concealed faces... It makes me feel like I have to picture the characters like on the covers]) with America in his arms. Or maybe the Elite girls in pretty dresses.
I dont know how the hell to rate this. I keep going back and forth between 3 and 4 stars.America was terrible the entire book. Shes highly insecure and irrational and makes the dumbest choices based on made up situations, which honestly, same, but SHE SHOULD AT LEAST RECOGNIZE THAT SHE IS DUMB.Its also annoying that any time Maxon even looked at her wrong, she immediately ran into Aspens arms. And yet, she cant stand that Maxon is dating the other girls. Like....what. Girl caught a case of the
I told you America.......those vipers who can wear 7-inch heels are deadly.Honestly, who cares if it's only down to six girls now??!! They're still vipers. They can still walk on crazy heels without breaking their feet. They're still WOMEN WHO WILL CHALLENGE YOU TO A CAT-FIGHT.Now you guys see how dangerous and how awesome this book is. America still fights with herself and others for Maxon, but honestly, she still doesn't even know where her fricking heart lies. So, I mean, to pile on deadly
For what it's worth, I actually liked The Selection. Sure, it suffered from a major bout of shoddy world building and desperately needed a plot beyond just the game show slash dating elements, but if I had to blurb it, I'd go with something like this: "Frivolous and silly, The Selection is nonetheless an enjoyable timekiller with its Bachelor-like elements and inability to take itself too seriously."The Elite on the other hand... ugh how do I even begin to describe this mess? Let's see...
It turns out I'm absolutely terrible at staying away from you. It's a very serious problem. Tears! Love-triangles! More tears! Whining! Even more tears! Annnd....honestly, that's pretty much it(Could we make it one chapter without her dissolving into tears? No? Fabulous. )Picking up where we left off, America is in the "Elite" (the top 6 of the Selection - aka the Bachelor/Princess Diaries mashup). She's joined by Celeste (the B*tch), Marley (the best friend), and three other totally
