Teen Review: “The Elite” by Kiera Cass

With the selection of 35 girls down to six, America is now one of the Elite. The competition is more intense, and the girls duties  become heavier. While the other girls are putting in their best effort, America still has no idea what she truly wants. Every day, she is drawn more and more to Maxon, but at the same time, it is hard to let her past with Aspen go. All the while, the rebels’ attacks are growing in number. The southern rebels are ready for the selection to end and are getting more dangerous the longer it goes on. Though the rebels may be wrong, America is gaining true insight into the wrongs of Illéa’s system. Can America win Maxon’s love? And if she does, will she be prepared to handle the duties of being the princess and later the queen? This book was just as gripping as the first book, leaving me desperate to read the third and finally book in the series.
