Wouldn't it be awesome if Maxon turned out to be gay? And then he ends up with Aspen!
10-2-12; 10:47pm : Team Maxon! :)9-26-13: W o w. Look at this BEAUTIFUL cover. In my review of The Elite I said I wanted the book green, but I'm COMPLETELY won over by the white. It's gorgeous. I can't wait! 03-12-15 Hey guys! So, I FINALLY got back into reading/reviewing and I'm happy to say that THE ONE is gonna be my first review back!I read THE ONE when it first came out and I've been DYING to do a review on it because I've been a fan since like... day two of THE SELECTION release. Ha!
EDIT: May 6th, 2014Well, The One is finally out today and I'm not sure when I'm going to get to read it, but hopefully it will be very soon! However, I did get a chance read the first 10 chapters at unlocktheone.com and it has made me even more skeptical than I already was, but I guess I'll have to wait see! Also, I would be really grateful if you guys wouldn't post any spoilers for The One in the comments of this review, or if you do at least tag them as such, because I do read all of them and
I was immensely proud of America by the end of the Elite, and couldn't have been more happy with the end of the trilogy! We all knew who she would end up with! I was crying the "I'm so lonely!" tears all through the last chapter before returning to my single life. Haha
New week, New BookTube Video - all about the best (and worst) literary couplesThe Written Review America, my love, you are sunlight falling through trees. You are laughter that breaks through sadness. You are the breeze on a too-warm day. Cue the eye roll, this is definitely going to be one of those kind of books. Break my heart. Break it a thousand times if you like. It was only ever yours to break anyway. Picking up where we left off, Maxon Schreave (points for having the world's

For me there is no other way to express how I feel but through GIFS so...I had just recently finished The Elite and was more anxious than ever to find out about the next one. Then I see it, on Goodreads, The One...So I do my Happy Dance Then something catches my eye, and it takes me a while to absorb this informationMAY 6TH 2014!!!!!!!!!And naturally I flip a table..."After my freakout I decide that as long as America doesn't end up with Aspen, I'll be ok.So I'll wait...And take action if...
3.8/5 Stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“Break my heart. Break it a thousand times if you like. It was only ever yours to break anyway.” 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...
These books are such easy reads, though dealing with America's... America-ness was not so easy.I liked that she stood by her beliefs and values, but it drove me nuts how she flip-flopped all over the place with her feelings. Especially since it was very obvious how she felt, a lot of her indecision didn't have much justification. Throughout the series, I never felt like the rebels were truly threats, they never seemed very dangerous. Things changed towards the last half of The One, which I appre...
Rating: 1.5 StarsSPOILERS. Please read on if you 1. Have no intention of ever reading this book (good for you) 2. Have read the book (my condolences)3. Just want to see me rant about sleazy men and brainless women (isn't that why we're all here?) The One. This title can mean so many things, but let me tell you what it means to me. It is the one book in this series that got a higher rating than a 1 from me, mostly because of an ending that completely surpassed my expectations of wtfery. It is
Let's pretend this never happened...Can't believe I read the whole series but I can now move on with my life.I couldn't stand the main character nor the love triangle. At least in this book, there was less girl-hate. The whole series could have been one book!Still... I did read them all....
Read my full review @A Perfection Called Books It's non-spoilery and gif-filled! All right. Enough is enough. I need to stop putting off writing this review. Maybe I feel that writing this review will truly mark the end of this series. And you know what? I don't want it to be over. This book gets a five star rating for so so many reasons. Ok so this book was not flawless. There were so many things that totally made up for it though: the plot, the romance, the characters, and the ending. Here ar
Dang honestly props for killing off main characters that was wild
After reading.. I'm just sooo emotional over this,, the sweet sweet sweetness, adorable emotional angsty love .. i love love love love this, i love it...fangirling.. AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!My Maxon ♥ ♥ ♥♥ ♥ ♥“Break my heart. Break it a thousand times if you like. It was only ever yours to break anyway.” "Shhh," I urged.“I'll love you until my very last breath. Every beat of my heart is yours. I don't want to die without you knowing that.”"Please don't," I choked.♥♥♥♥♥♥
I hate to say it, but...it appears humanity peaked in 2014.Sure, it was before a lot of important things happened (like me being active on Goodreads, or me trying Kraft Mac and Cheese Spirals for the first time, or other historic me-centered events), but consider also: in 2014 we were allowed to leave our houses. Bliss.Also, books like this were the peak of literature.On the one hand, bummer, because this is not a very good read, but on the other hand, don’t you wish you could go back to a time
EDIT 21/04/2014The wait is almost over! Soon we'll find out - Maxon or Aspen, Aspen or Maxon? Maxon, Maxon, Maxon,Max.....----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------EDIT 27/09/2013Well, looks like I was right! The cover is gorgeous!Two more assumptions to go...Fingers crossed!----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Maxon and America will be together. Aspen and Lucy will fall in l
Update: 25/9/14 I am officially changing my rating from 2 stars to 3 stars! Why, you may ask?The answer: http://unlocktheselection.com/And with that lovely webpage comes an exclusive bonus epilogue for The One which made me a very, very happy fangirl! There's even some irony in there:'I made my way across the floor, sampling some hors d’oeuvres on my way. None of the food seemed terribly appealing, though. Maxon’s favorites weren’t necessarily mine, I just had to trust that everyone else would e...
why i read this series:- the writing- the complex characters- the social themes- THE DRAMAand this conclusion does not disappoint. although the ending is totally rushed, these books are the equivalent to a bad habit that you put in zero effort to quit. but it sure is peak entertainment and thats all i need. ↠ 3.5 stars
Team MAXON!!!!!!!!!!! Omg the name is out and it is awesome. The c-c-c-c-COVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it.... is..... AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *super happy dance*Update in the middle of book:The feeelllllsss and OMGJust finished the book, good ending but the feels, this book made me cry so much. It's killing me!
I CAN'T EVEN---!!!ALL THE FEELS. I'm crying with JOY!!!I can't give this book less than 5 stars because I got what I wanted. Sure, the world building is as poor as it has always been in this series, but GOD, the romance was so BEAUTIFUL. I finished this book in less than one day because it was so easy and fast to read! It has a huge amount of drama and it had me hooked till the very end! I think I liked America better in this book than in the other books. She was more decided and she made choice...
