I have mixed feelings over The Selection series. Book 1 got 4 stars, but book 2 only got 2 stars. That was why it took so much effort for me to pick up the last one. But I stubbornly wanted to finish the series and I still was intrigued as to how it will end so, why not? I read the book though, at first, I wasn't happy about it.

The One was a great improvement from The Elite. There are some parts that still made me cringe a bit but the entire story was far better than what I was expecting. America stopped being unfair to both men, Maxon's character shined brightly (especially in the latter chapters), and Aspen held up for himself and for the ones he loved. The love triangle was finally bearable and it concluded nicely. *breathes a sigh of relief*

So basically, if you are in need of a light, young adult, romance series, The Selection may just be what you're looking for.
