Protagonist America Singer is now one of six "Elite" girls in the competition to become Prince Maxon's wife, but moral and romantic challenges jeopardize her continued participation. This second novel (The Selection) dwells on America's indecisiveness, but interesting ethical issues and intensifying political unrest add depth to the "who will he choose?" aspect of the series, enticing fans back for the finale.
