This novella was so cute! I loved finding out that Amberly was able to have a child after all, and that the series would center around him and his Selection. Maxon is at once a child and adult. He has so many worries that a person of his age should not, yet he handles them with as much grace as he can.

I was so proud of him when he didn’t make the easy choice and begin to date his childhood friend. He could’ve just settled for an option that would have been safe, but he decided to be truthful and honest about his own feelings and go after a love match rather than a tactful one. I hope The Selection can provide the love match he’s looking for!
