Kiera Cass’s bestselling Selection series has enchanted readers from the very first page. Now the end of the journey is here, in a wonderfully romantic series finale that will sweep you off your feet.

Twenty years have passed since the events of The One, and America and Maxon’s daughter is the first princess to hold a Selection of her own. Princess Eadlyn didn’t think she would find a real partner among the Selection’s thirty-five suitors, let alone true love. But sometimes the heart has a way of surprising you... and now Eadlyn must make a choice that feels more difficult—and more important—than she ever expected.

The Selection series has sold more than 3 million copies and captured the hearts of fans around the world. This swoon-worthy final installment is the happily ever after they’ve all been waiting for.

Haha! I'd be starting it tomorrow if I could read on Saturdays!

I'm charging my Kindle right now, so it won't die on me during the weekend

Starting now ☺

Snap. :)

up to chapter 7: (view spoiler)[ glad that America is okay! Also, love how the king drops everything to be with her. Eadlyn is slowly improving as a character. I also think there is somehting fishy going on with Ahren. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 4 - (view spoiler)[I really hope America pulls through! (hide spoiler)]

chapter 6 (view spoiler)[ it's looking like she's going to pick Kile at the moment. (hide spoiler)]

Tati wrote: "up to chapter 7: [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[Me too. America and Maxon are still so good together! (hide spoiler)]

Sarah wrote: "chapter 6 [spoilers removed]"

I'm rooting for him, tbh

chapter 8 (view spoiler)[ another one bites the dust. (hide spoiler)]

Tati wrote: "Sarah wrote: "chapter 6 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ the choices are getting less and less, I'm not sure there really is another option. (hide spoiler)]

Sarah wrote: "chapter 8 [spoilers removed]"

Yep.

chapter 15 (view spoiler)[ i think it's pretty obvious that she's going to be queen at the end of the series the way America was at the end of 'the one', although hopefully America won't have to die the way Queen Amberly did to achieve that. (hide spoiler)]

chapter 16 (view spoiler)[ I want some romance already! (hide spoiler)]

Sarah wrote: "chapter 15 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ Yep. I'm hoping she doesn't either. (hide spoiler)]

chapter 18 (view spoiler)[ well that's two more out of the running. she's seriously running out of options now. (hide spoiler)]

did you guys get ARC's?

Yes, netgalley -

Sarah wrote: "Yes, netgalley - "

OMG!!!

chapter 23 (view spoiler)[ finally! she finally admits that she likes someone and its someone she can't have! (hide spoiler)]

chapter 29 (view spoiler)[ what the heck is she doing?! (hide spoiler)]

chapter 31 (view spoiler)[ I can't quite believe what she's doing. (hide spoiler)]

Sarah wrote: "chapter 31 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[Snap. (hide spoiler)]

the end (view spoiler)[ well, not really sure how I feel about all that. Not really what I was expecting. Bit of an odd choice for me. (hide spoiler)]

Sarah wrote: "the end [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[I had a feeling she'd choose him after she told Kile to go. Her proposing to Henri threw me a bit. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 10: (view spoiler)[ who is this Josie? (hide spoiler)]

Tati wrote: "Chapter 10: [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ isn't she Kile's sister? (hide spoiler)]

Sarah wrote: "Tati wrote: "Chapter 10: [spoilers removed]"

[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[Yep, Kiles sister & Marlee's Daughter. (hide spoiler)]

Sarah wrote: "chapter 23 [spoilers removed]"

of course!

(view spoiler)[ I wonder how is she going to bend the rules to marry Erik (hide spoiler)]

Done!

(view spoiler)[ Really? What an underwhelming end... (hide spoiler)]

Tati wrote: "Done!

[spoilers removed]"

It was.

What the hell?!
Someone please tell me what the hell happened .

Yeahhhhhhhh. I'm so disappointed.

yep, it was disappointing for me as well... Such a sad way to end this series. I think the author should have called it a day after the first three books

I don't know, I really liked book 4, but something was just missing from book 5. Where was the romance? Where was the anticipation and excitement of who she'd end up with? I agree that it was disappointing ☹

Everything was so rushed. Book 4 was awesome for me, here you can just tell Kiera Cass wanted to get it done

I just can´t understand what has happened in the last chapters. There was no romance! . They had no chemistry. I have no words...
It´s really sad because, i love the three first books.

There was a distinct lack of romance ☹

Sarah wrote: "There was a distinct lack of romance ☹"

Exactly. (view spoiler)[Plus the relationship with Erik was ridiculously rushed. Was rooting for Kile. (hide spoiler)]

Did anyone else receive the e-mail from Harper Collins?

Wait how did you guys get it early??

Nevermind.. found it ;)

apparently HarperCollins and NetGalley made a mistake by releasing ARCs before the embargoed release date... I got an e-mail from them asking me to delete the book from my device and not post reviews or discuss the book anywhere.

Tati wrote: "apparently HarperCollins and NetGalley made a mistake by releasing ARCs before the embargoed release date... I got an e-mail from them asking me to delete the book from my device and not post revie..." No, I didn't get any emails.

they offered me a physical copy as apologies for the mess up

Rachael wrote: "Tati wrote: "apparently HarperCollins and NetGalley made a mistake by releasing ARCs before the embargoed release date...

Understandable.. Kiera is one of my favorite authors so I will support her regardless

Rachael wrote: "Understandable.. Kiera is one of my favorite authors so I will support her regardless" I love her too. All the other selection books were 5/5 for me! This book was so heartbreakingly disappointing for me I kind of feel like crying.
