The Selection, by Kiera Cass, is one of my all-time favourite books. It is about a girl named America Singer. America lives in a land that is organized with castes. People have castes and are only allowed to do jobs within those castes. Caste One is royalty. The people in Caste Two are a step down from royalty, and they are very rich by default. They can do almost anything they want. Caste Three is known for being teachers or writers. The people in Caste Four are farmers. The people in Caste Five (America is Caste Five) are known for doing jobs like singing, dancing, playing music, or creating art. Caste Six are cleaners, they tidy up people's houses. Caste Seven are servants. And Caste Eight are homeless and have no money, jobs, or food, etc. America is chosen to participate in an event of which 35 girls will go to the palace and compete against each other for the Prince's hand in marriage.
The Selection is the first book out of a trilogy. Kiera Cass is an amazing writer, and when I started this book, I was immediately entangled in the life of America Singer. If you like a book about Romance, this is a good one for you.
