Dear You,
Last week I read a lot and by the end of the week I had this one left. I wasn't expecting to read that much of it but I finished it in exactly one day.
Kiera Cass' writing is amazing, I noticed a distinct similarity to Cassandra Clare's descriptive style though not quite as visual as hers yet still good.
The main character, America, is clumsy, stubborn, impulsive, and makes a few really frustrating decisions throughout the entire trilogy (The Selection, Elite, and One). However she is independent, well-spoken, and brave, incredibly, undeniably brave and I want to be her so badly. It's impossible not to admire that bravery, independence, and innovation. She believes in herself and her ideas without anyone else's validation and I want to be her.
The love story throughout this series may, perhaps be one of my favorites ever. It's unrealistic because of the fantasy premise behind the story but mirrors real people. The author was brilliant in the fact that she put two very realistic personalities into characters in an unrealistic world. They fight and do stupid things constantly because they're human, they grew as the story did and became people in my mind rather than quick thoughts. This as probably my favorite part of the book.
They keep trying to make this story into a tv show but every time Cass has released a new installment in the series, I got it and read the whole story in one day because it's not meant to be read one chapter at a time. It's addicting and I think it would make a beautiful series of movies rather than an obselete, under appreciated tv show. But that's just one girl's opinion :)
Overall, this series was amazing, it will forever hold an important spot in my heart and I would love to see them do more with this inspiring series. I'm also really excited to see what Cass writes next.

Have an Amazing Day!
