The Selection by Kiera Cass
3.0

this was an okay book. I was expecting more from it, considering how much I've heard about it. It had no depth, no logic, no unpredictable plot twists, no moving emotional parts, so shocking conditions of how propel lived (although the author was constantly trying to point out a poverty which I couldn't even see). Hardly any of the characters had any life (okay, so I did like Maxon) I mean, 35 girls and she must have given about 4 of them an actual personality (well done, pretty impressive). but oddly enough, while I was reading this book none of this bothered me too much. maybe it's because I've had a busy week and this must've been one of the easiest books I've read in a long time.
