LOVE this series!!!! Can not get enough!
I think I liked The Elite more than the first book The Selection. The Elite is full of action, passion and romance. At the end of the first book the reader was left knowing that Prince Maxon had narrowed the selection down to the top six girls, the elite!
From the very first page the reader is lost again in the world behind the palace doors! While reading this book I found myself loving and hating America for her choices. I so badly want her to be the princess and help Maxon change the country that they live in. My heart was hurting when Marley, America's best friend in the selection, found herself caught and her secret became public. I found my heart beating fast when it was time for America to give her presentation during the report, I was so nervous for her!
I am still torn between team Aspen and team Maxon. By the end of this book I was still pulling for Maxon! I am anxiously waiting to read The One next!
I give this book 5 plus stars!!!!!
