While elements are the same as The Bachelor, that show makes me want to scratch my eyes out, so the book wasn't enough like it to detract from other plot strings.<br /><br />Jessi: Absolutely. I wish I had waited. I had an inkling of the ending when I got down to the last 30 pages, but I was still disappointed that this is the accepted device for retaining readers in YA.<br /><br />Giselle: Thanks! I think THE SELECTION has hype in a different way than usual for YA because of the mixed opinions. Honestly, I think that's good too!Lillie (AliseOnLife)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05258883157759929876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1587552233166786731.post-40771969801656976722012-04-20T07:23:45.626-04:002012-04-20T07:23:45.626-04:00Awesome review!

It seems like everyone has really mixed opinions on this one and it's actually making me want to read it more to check out what the fuss it about haha.Gisellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16953187386418088952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1587552233166786731.post-59036157269359996502012-04-19T15:42:05.110-04:002012-04-19T15:42:05.110-04:00I'm totally with you on books that end that wa...I'm totally with you on books that end that way! I haven't read this yet, but I've been really on the fence about doing so. There's a distinct possibility, knowing about that ending, that I'll wait until closer to the release of book 2.<br /><br />Great review!JessiMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05620317510135783572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1587552233166786731.post-48647333378912079462012-04-19T14:22:07.650-04:002012-04-19T14:22:07.650-04:00Hi Lillie!

I'm interested to see how this will work out since The Bachelor is a reality TV show. I wonder hoe will it work out. Great honest review!Precioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16010073497121681701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1587552233166786731.post-53166201598479023762012-04-19T13:29:14.509-04:002012-04-19T13:29:14.509-04:00Aw!

The ending didn't bother so much, but I think that is because I sort of expect YA books to end the way that The Selection did. They practically all END THIS WAY. LOL<br /><br />Great review though!!!Good Choice Readinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09642003814176567517noreply@blogger.com
