The Selection

Description :

The book covers a charming and captivating story of a 17-year-old singer America, who is among 35 girls who are selected for a reality TV lottery. To most of the selected ones, it is the chance of their lifetimes to compete for the heart of gorgeous Prince Maxon. It is an opportunity for them to escape their routine lives that they have been living since birth and enter into the world of royals, which is filled with glittering gowns and priceless jewels. To live in a royal palace is a dream of many; but, for America Singer, it is nothing more than a nightmare. For her, being ‘selected’ for this reality event means turning her back on her secret love Aspen, who is a caste below her. She never wanted to leave her home for such fierce competition and live in a palace that is constantly threatened by various rebel attacks. Finally, when America meets Prince Maxon, she starts questioning her life plans. She also realises that her dreams and future might be completely different from that she always imagined. But, what no one knows is that, America is hiding a secret that could change the competition and her life forever.
