Summary

It's time for the Selection, a lottery where girls from all castes are chosen to compete for the chance to be Prince Maxon's wife. Seventeen-year-old America Singer has no interest in entering the Selection. All she wants is a future with her secret boyfriend, Aspen. But what America wants doesn't seem to matter. Her mother is convinced America is meant for a life among the higher castes. And Aspen-who is a caste below her-insists that she enter the lottery for a chance at a better life. When, much to America's shock, she is actually Selected, Aspen breaks up with her, and she heads to the castle brokenhearted. Suddenly America is swept up in a world of elaborate gowns, glittering jewels, and decadent feasts. Prince Maxon takes a special interest in her from day one-much to the outrage of the other girls. To the rest of the country, life at the castle looks like a fairy tale-but beneath the glamorous surface, fierce competition rages between the Selected girls, and the rebel attacks on the castle are becoming increasingly violent
