The Selection by Kierra Cass

Published: April 24th 2012
Publisher: Harper Teen

For thirty-five girls, the Selection is the chance of a lifetime. The opportunity to escape the life laid out for them since birth. To be swept up in a world of glittering gowns and priceless jewels. To live in the palace and compete for the heart of the gorgeous Prince Maxon. 

But for America Singer, being Selected is a nightmare. It means turning her back on her secret love with Aspen, who is a caste below her. Leaving her home to enter a fierce competition for a crown she doesn't want. Living in a palace that is constantly threatened by violent rebel attacks. 

Then America meets Prince Maxon. Gradually, she starts to question all the plans she's made for herself- and realizes that the life she's always dreamed of may not compare to a future she never imagined.

The Selection is going to be released in just a few weeks and I can't wait. I mean just look at that cover. GORGEOUS! I'm kind of a sucker for amazing covers and this totally fits. Her dress is seriously epic, however much it does remind you of a peacock. Either way I can't wait to hear the blurb and to read it when it's released. Fun fun fun!
