The Selection

My Thoughts!
This book is one of a kind and I have been addicted to it since I picked it up. This book really expresses emotion to where you feel the same as they do. The book pulls you in and wont let you out until you finished.
Recomendations
I recommend this for people who like suspense, romance, family drama, and secrets. This book will make you laugh, cry and think about what will happen. If you like the thought of love and bravery, then this book will make you very happy. This book is 336 pages but easy read and hard to put down.
