The Selection by Kiera Cass
Publication Date: April 24, 2012
Publisher: HarperTeen
Pages: 336
Goodreads Synopsis
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.

This one has such a pretty cover! The story kind of makes me think of a debutante ball/reality dating show, which sounds pretty awesome :0)

This book sounds great! It kind of reminds me of Shannon Hale's Princess Academy..except with slightly older characters. It sounds like there will be a great love triangle in it as well! Nice WOW choice :)
Dystopian romance indeed!! Beautiful cover and intriguing premise means this is going on my wish list; great pick!
