So... America has just snuck into her family's treehouse to see Aspen, her secret love. They talk for a while about the "stupid letter", and then one of the many great quotes in this book comes: "That was my great ambition. Not to be Illea's princess. To be Aspen's." Kiera Cass goes on for a bit about how it was "atypical" for people to marry down a caste, how America is in love with Aspen, how amazing and pretty Aspen is, and all that jazz. God that was a badly written sentence.
Anyway, Aspen has two younger sisters who have just turned 16 and are going to enter the Selection. And because America is a "kind hearted" (not really) she gives Aspen her leftovers from dinner and says, "Oh, hey, I brought us a snack." Translation: I know you're starving so I didn't eat my dinner and instead I'm giving it to you.
And because Aspen is a stupid jerk-face and should die in hell, he tells America to enter the Selection even though she CLEARLY LOVES HIM!!!! You all now know why I hate Aspen.
So, he makes her sign up, and eventually get picked, (spoiler alert) she tries to tell him that she does not love Maxon (the prince), and never will. My inner hopeless romantic (yes, I have one too) jumps up and down with joy at this because IT IS A LIE!!!!!!
So yeah. I apologize, by the way, about the lack of reviews from me. This is partly due to the fact that the first few chapters of The Selection are boring as hell. Hopefully as I get into later chapters I will be posting more frequently.
And remember Survey Sunday? Yeah that thing. So since I didn't post last week, we didn't have a poll, so sorry about that. Anyway, since I am a Harry Potter fanatic, I am taking an imaginary unbreakable bond to have a survey every Sunday. Audrey, I give you permission to give me a punishment of your choice if I break that bond.
And to quote Audrey, chapter three should be out by Sunday.
