The Selection–a review by The Pencil Princess Workshop.
I admit that I read this because (a) it was on lots of bestseller lists and (b) I liked the dress on the girls on the cover. I mean, I wouldn’t wear it, but it looked cool.
The story was as beautiful as the dress, with a great, spunky main character who is kind, socially aware, and more honest than is good for her. I couldn’t help rooting for her all through this, and though the story has significantly less closure than I prefer, I would heartily recommend it for anyone who likes Cinderella stories. It’s not quite as amazing as Cinder, but still very impressive.
