The Elite by Kiera CassMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Avg rating: 4.01
Goodreads Summary:
The Selection began with thirty-five girls. Now, with the group narrowed down to the Elite, the competition to win Prince Maxon's heart is fiercer than ever--and America is still struggling to decide where her own heart truly lies. Is it with Maxon, who could make her life a fairy tale? Or with her first love, Aspen, who she always thought was the one?
America is desperate for more time. But the rest of the Elite know exactly what they want--and America's chance to choose is about to slip away.
Actual Rating: 5.0
I'm really bad at writing reviews because by the time I finish the book I forget about all the amazing parts in it. My review could either look like "aldskfhalksdhflas OMG SO GOOD!" or it could look like a buncha quotes of my fave parts.. So I choose that one:
"That was so typical of him, always trying to be my hero" (oh Aspen)
"It's the most wonderful and terrible thing that can ever happen to you. You know that you've found something amazing, and you want to hold on to it forever; and every second after you have it, you fear the moment you might lose it" (Maid, Lucy, on Love)
"I've been looking for a suitable alternative, but the truth is... there's only you" (Maxon on America)
"How did I, America Singer- a Five, a nobody- fall for Maxon Schreave- a One, THE One?" (Kiera Cass being sneaky and the first insight into the third book titled The One)
"You've always been beautiful; you've always been talented. And now I know that your moral compass is perfectly aligned, that you see clearly when things are wrong, and you do everything you can to stop it" (America's father.. This sums up everything I feel about America. I am so proud of who she has become and I couldn't be more attached to a main character as I am to her)
"Aspen's generosity was harder to see because it wasn't as grand as Maxon's, but the heart behind what he gave was so much bigger"
Okay that's all for now... But I can't forget Marlee.. I love Marlee so much and I KNEW there was something going on with someone else in the palace for a long time and I'm so sad about the consequences they had to endure BUT! The compassion Maxon showed them was the sweetest thing. I can't even express how much TEAM MAXON I am.
I love America and I love Maxon and I can't wait for them to be together.. Sorry Aspen.
