I just said the same thing. I said the last 2 weren’t necessary but still enjoyable. I am glad I read them even if they weren’t needed.

If you like a lot of romance, these books are fun! I did however lose interest with the back and forth relationships and unnecessary drama. I personally love The Siren by Kiera much more!

I tend to get impatient with back and forth relationships, so this series lost my interest quickly. But, it’s still a beautiful story and worth a shot

Ya. I really like America. We need someone like her in real life.

I rarely read others comments but decided to see if anyone mirrored my opinion and you are the first person her has. I hate when people rag on America Singer. I thought she was written as a great, head strong, female character. The author a typical YA trope but it was still fun and I love how America did her own thing. I am so happy to find someone who liked her like I did.

@Susan she is amazing. People forget she is just a teenager thrown into this crazy world. People expect her to be more adult like. I thought she was true to who I expected her to be.

I personally didn’t enjoy them much. Lost interest after reading the first book and half of the second. Too much unnecessary drama for me which made me frustrated with the main characters who seem rather unrealistic at various points throughout the story. But this is just me, a lot of people seem to have enjoyed them a lot. I’d say to at least give the first book a try and see if it fits your tastes 😉

Now to be honest I loved the first 3 and the last 2 were not great or needed but that is really my opinion and I recommend you read them all so you can form your own opinion. I was addicted to the books and was sad when it was over. I heard they were guilty pleasure books to read and that was for sure for me. They were not literary brilliance but they were fast, easy, and so fun to read. I hear a lot of people say the main character America Singer was an annoying character but I loved her. She was stuck in a situation as a lot of YA do but other then that situation I thought she was funny and a very head strong female character and I loved her. I loved the main male character too. I hope you read them and enjoy the heck out of them.

The last 2 books were horrible. I don’t want you to think you shouldn’t read them they were just not needed but still because you get to know the family and the characters you should read them. They were still fun and fast to whip through and something so enjoyable to read. ENJOY them. You won’t be sorry

I agree with you. If the OP is looking for a fun/light read The Selection is perfect

Definitely one of those guilty pleasure series. Kinda cheesey, the main character is a little obnoxious a lot of the time. But it’s one of those stories that you wanna keep reading.

It’s brain candy. Goes fast, is enjoyable while you’re reading it, doesn’t have much in the way of depth.

They’re definitely a guilty pleasure read, though for me, I don’t enjoy the later books quite as much as the first few in the series.

This was something I read for fun. It’s not a story I was invested in, it is a series I read purely for entertainment. If you’re looking for something deep with a complex plot and characters this may not be for you. It is a fun read though

Theyre kind of trashy fun. The book equivelent of a reality show. That said the MC of the original trilogy is AWFUL. But I still sort of guiltily enjoyed them.

I didn’t like it. It was REALLY slow and not much was happening and there was nothing exciting about any of the three books.

If you want a highly complex political drama, no. If you want a fluffy, comforting, interesting, intriguing read, yes! It’s such a nice read. It basically feels like, you know, these winter days when you’re under the blanket with a nice tea and your cat and you’re binge watching romcoms but with a slight political twist!
