Also, the previous books in this series are legitimately TEEMING, swamplike, with more girl hate than you can possibly imagine, and when there’s finally one (1) moment where all the girls are hangin’ out and getting along...Maxon interrupts. Bottom line: Why did I reread this series? I don’t know! See you when I reread and rant about the spinoffs. Gillian: Do you want to talk about how accidentally sexist this is? And how SPOILER needs a girl he can protect and SPOILER needs a man to shield her and guide her? And how these are held to be very, very good things? You're breaking a lot of rules, Miss Singer." "You're the prince. You can just pardon me." — Maxon Schreave and America Singer I'm going to love you more than any man has ever loved a woman, more than you ever dreamed you could be loved. I promise you that."

I don't know how I feel about the ending. Things wrap up a little too nicely, and I feel like there were some things that needed to be properly sorted out between our characters. More of the flip-flopping feelings, where the past just seems to have been unrealistically forgotten. *pulls hair* You are not the world, but you are everything that makes the world good. Without you, my life would still exist, but that's all it would manage to do. America was annoying as ever, same with Aspen. The drama was pitiful and tiering. The writing and dialogue was cheesy and cringey. The plot and world-building is yet again not satisfying, and close to non-existent.Consider the pandemic of 2020. Many struggled with their mental health during and after the pandemic, while others thrived. If you read many of the articles about that time, watched the news, and listened to conversations, you would hear people blame the pandemic for causing people to be a certain way, but as we have seen in previous examples, if it was solely the pandemic itself, then everyone would have responded to it the same way. The fact that they didn’t tells us there is another reason. To figure this out, let’s consider one final example. There was a long moment of silence before he lost his temper. “I will not have anyone else telling me who I can and cannot marry! This is my life you’re playing games with!” Gillian: This is a distinct possibility. Though even my fever dreams tie up loose plot threads better than... that. Maxamer - The one thing that made me so mad and angry was both Maxon's and America's refusals to just come out and admit their feelings for one another. I wanted to rip my hair out. They both were like "Why should I say it first? Why won't he say it? If he's not gonna say it, I'm not gonna say it." Come on. Are you freaking kidding me. I was literally shaking my iPad during these moments of character stupidity.

All right. Enough is enough. I need to stop putting off writing this review. Maybe I feel that writing this review will truly mark the end of this series. And you know what? I don't want it to be over. This book gets a five star rating for so so many reasons. Ok so this book was not flawless. There were so many things that totally made up for it though: the plot, the romance, the characters, and the ending. Here are my thoughts on this book accompanied with gifs that embody my thoughts quite well. Pero luego llegaban esos momentos de besos robados y románticos en los que no había mundo sino sólo ellos dos y lo perdonaba todo. Y sí, digo que eso es uno de los elementos más valiosos no sólo del libro, sino de la trilogía entera, porque si Kiera Cass no crea misterio e incertidumbre alrededor de la relación de Maxon y America, los libros serían aburridísimos y muy predecibles... cosa que, por supuesto, no son. De verdad, hay momentos en los que dices "vale, ya está, Maxon va a terminar todo, va a enviar a las otras chicas a casa, va a plantarle cara a su padre y va a decirle al mundo entero que ama a America", pero hay otros momentos en los que no puedes más que cerrar el libro y mirarlo con rencor como pensando "Maxon, eres idiota, ¡deja de estar con Kriss, capullo!". If you ever wondered what it would be like if finding your soulmate was as easy as making a Tinder profile, Netflix has an answer for you. The Onerevolves around a new tech company that’s taken the world by storm, promising to match users with their perfect soulmates. But this seemingly sweet proposition comes with unintended consequences.The Selection changed America Singer's life in ways she never could have imagined. Since she entered the competition to become the next princess of Illéa, America has struggled with her feelings for her first love, Aspen—and her growing attraction to Prince Maxon. Now she's made her choice . . . and she's prepared to fight for the future she wants. Ayling, Tom (12 February 2016). "The 7 Principles I Use To Stay Mentally Sharp". The Huffington Post . Retrieved 24 May 2016. Honestly, I'm just done with these wannabe-dystopian books. I've even made a shelf dedicated to just that. This series wasn't my taste, and I think it just made me dumber than I already am. Or when you’re not like other girls because all the cool girls think petty theft deserves public humiliation followed by lifetime imprisonment, but YOU’RE like um maybe just an exorbitantly long time in jail?? #quirky But I mean...who among us can’t relate to the universal experiences of being a teen relayed in this book?

With a whole lot of heartbreak. At long last Rebecca (Hannah Ware), the founder and CEO of The One, told her match Matheus (Albano Jeronimo) what happened to her murdered former friend. If you need a refresher, the formula that would turn into the mega-successful company The One was developed by James’ (Dimitri Leonidas) research with ants and Rebecca’s belief that research could translate into soulmates for people. All that they needed was a sample to prove that their theory worked. The Elite - The Elite (Elise, Celeste, Kriss, and America) bonded in this book. Their scenes together in this book were great and so much fun. Elise isn't actually a robot. Celeste had a 180 personality change. I actually like her now! I will never like Kriss though :P WTF WAS THIS LINE? THIS WAS THE WORST, MOST SELFISH LINE IN THE ENTIRE BOOK. After everything her and Aspen went through, she owed him an explanation. She basically manipulated both boys, and she kept thinking she had them in her grasp. She was the one doing the choosing, of course. The boys were just her meals. When Maxon started showing interest in Kriss, she started losing her shit. Aspen kept being loyal to her, waiting for her stupid ass to make a decision and she kept him at bay if she needed a boy after all this. SHE IS SO SELFISH I WANT TO PUNCH HER TO DEATH. Siendo honesto, no ha sido el mejor libro de la saga, que es algo que todo el mundo me decía. Es bueno, sí, y tiene muchísimas cosas que podrían hacerlo el mejor, pero le ha faltado algo que tenía The Selection y que este no tiene... ¿Quizá esa magia propia de la saga? No sé. En cualquier caso, eso no quita que tenga las cinco estrellas porque me esperaba un final superhappy. Y no ha sido para nada así. Gillian: A major character's death that has nothing to do with the plot, is not born of the plot even though it so easily could have been, does not change the plot that follows or the main character in any way, and is executed SO POORLY that I could only guffaw in sadistic glee.A tea party will be held and each of the Elite has to invite two guests. America shares with Maxon her plan about the tea party: she invites the Italian princess Nicoletta and Georgia. When they meet each other, Georgia explains to Nicoletta the goals of the Northern rebels and asks her to fund their weapons so they can fight the Southerners. After contemplating, Nicoletta finally accepts this request, as she wants her country to support the future of Illéa, a possible ally.

W o w. Look at this BEAUTIFUL cover. In my review of The Elite I said I wanted the book green, but I'm COMPLETELY won over by the white. It's gorgeous. I can't wait! I want you, America,' he murmured into my ear. 'I want you to be mine alone. And I want to give you everything.' His lips kissed their way across my cheek, stopping at the corner of my mouth.

None of the food seemed terribly appealing, though. Maxon’s favorites weren’t necessarily mine, I just had to trust that everyone else would enjoy the selection.' This one was definitely better than the last (honestly, Cass could've cut the entirety of book 2 and nothing would've been missed.) but I still think it was missing far too much. With more books in this series to come, it seems like The One - despite its flaws - doesn't have to carry the weight of being the final book and summing everything up nicely, any longer. You said that to get things right one of us would have to take a leap of faith. I think I've discovered the canyon that must be leaped, and I hope to find you waiting for me on the other side.
