The Elite (The Selection, Book 2) | 
The Angeles air was quiet, and for a while I lay still listening to the sound of Maxon‘s breathing. It was getting harder and harder to catch him in a truly calm and happy moment, and I soaked up the time, grateful that he seemed to be at his best when he and I were alone.

pickI may or may not have read this is one sitting today, because I desperately needed to know what happened. 😬 on the the next!! 5 🌟
so-soThings felt a little more predictable and disjointed in this one compared to the first. But still totally drawn in and must read the next one as soon as possible!
Her smile was diabolical, and I grinned with her. I‘d never met anyone as organized as these girls. If I had them, there was no way I could lose.

so-soA YA series that doesn‘t ask too much. It‘s light, but very readable. The main character, America, is exhausting at times with her wishy-washiness, but I enjoy the political element. I needed something mindless during a crazy time at work and this is perfect, but I wish it didn‘t make me roll my eyes quite so much.

pickPAIN! ♥️ I love these kids so much yet don‘t know how to feel about their choices; some pages had me on their side, some had me conflicted. My trust issues alarm ignited when Mer was giving out info at the Italian party or whenever a guard did anything 😂 I feel something terrible brewing. Halloween party was 🥰 & the King 🫠 I see Maxton as this innocent bb and the last scene had me scared 🥲💛
pickThis was so good!!! It‘s nice to be reading good books again, since a lot of the ones I read this month have be subpar. I miss the food descriptions that were in the first one, but it only leaves room for more adjective on the dresses. This book delved more into the dystopian element of Illéa. 5?
pickFinally finished this book, #2 in the series. REALLY good, carries the story line from book 1 to 3 very well.
so-soSequel to The Selection. This one got annoying to me with the main characters fickle love triangle. She got irritating with her lack of decision making. I found myself missing some of the underlying historical/political components the first book has. Hoping for better again with the next, because naturally I have to finish the series now 🤣
Bound and determine to ROCK this months #bookspin and #doublespin with @TheAromaofBooks I‘ve been slacking, time to change that 👏🏼🤞🏼
pickThe Elite is the sequel to The Selection by Kiera Cass. Here we follow America who tries to decipher her feelings between Aspin and Maxon.
This book was a complete rollercoaster, one minute I wanted to scream at the book and the next I was just as giddy as America. It really enchanted me, pulling me into the story and it's world- I wanted and still want to know everything about it, so much so that I'm putting the next book on hold as we speak.
“You know 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.“ -pg 62
This is such an amazing book! I couldn‘t put it down, the author has an amazing ability to get you hooked. Kiera Cass is one of my favourite authors now. She effectively writes enough to make you imagine what happens. She sometime will write some “boring stuff” but I really love the way she writes. I just started the next book so I‘m really excited to see what it has to show me!
If I had them, there was no way I could lose.

pickThe characters made me so mad with their decision making and selfishness. However, I had to remember the ages of the characters and the mindset of teenagers and it was easier to digest. I loved the story line and can‘t wait to read the next one. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickIt‘s been so long since I‘ve fallen over a story this hard. The last one was probably when I was a tween, fan-girling over Harry Potter and Twilight.
Is it weird to say that this series has turned my life upside down?? 😂 I‘m procrastinating on work and I finished this and the one before this in 2 days!
Definitely a keeper. I‘ll have this one in the shelf for a pretty long time.
Rating: 4.5/5
Book description ⬇️
so-so3/5 ?
Book 2 was so close to being a 2.5/5. You could almost spare yourself the torture of the love triangle TRASH that the whole middle of the book is. Skip it, read the beginning & end & you won't be yelling insults & despising the main character for her absolute stupidity. You can only flip flop & "make up your mind" so many times. The ending SAVES this book & allows you to move forward in the series...if you can make it that far.
On to book 2! Is yelling insults at the main character a good sign? Because hiii this love triangle is making me see RED. The choice is clear to me🤷♀️
pickI still dislike stories with love triangles, but I still enjoyed book 2 of the Selection Series. Given all the craziness in the world, it is nice to just enjoy a story that you don't have to think about and can just listen to.
pickThe second book in the Selection series was full of drama and that messy love triangle. The 35 girls have been slowly reduced to six as they all vie for the Prince‘s affection all the while rebel forces plot to overthrow the monarchy. The heroine, America, asked to be alone and think so often which just landed her in more trouble anyway, and I found that irritating. It still had me eagerly listening!

pickI gave it a 3 on goodreads, it‘s a fun series. I think I will continue to book three. The author is good at the cliff hanger 😁 feels like it is the mid-season finale!

pickMer's circular feelings about Maxon - and the ensuing cycle of accepting his love, doing something foolish, then rejecting him - had the potential to get very old very quickly. Fortunately, the story was fleshed out by exposing even more of the various injustices of Illea. That, plus the developing mystery of the invading rebels, built up the world much better than the previous book & made it richer. All in all, another fun, quick read.
The Angeles air was quiet, and for a while I lay still, listening to the sound of Maxon‘s breathing.
