Kiera Cass, you are lovely. Thank you for writing the selection series. Summary America has always been in love with her best friend Aspen. She went over the moon when Aspen wanted to try being more than a friend to her. Until the day he changed his mind. Singing and swimming has always been her outlet when releasing frustrations, while swimming watching her from the privacy of his meeting room Prince Maxon of Ilea was captivated by her red hair and blue eyes. One day America had to sing for royalty and an idea hit Maxon.... Maybe it was his turn to start his selection. Is America ready to fall for the handsome Prince or think she could never love anyone as she loves Aspen. a/n: hi guys! So this is a more contemporary story. It doesn't take us in the future but more on the everyday scene. But while I'm starting this out... can you tell me some thoughts if I should continue it? Thanks! DISCLAIMER: It's Kiera's story just inspired and sharing some inspiration. x strictlyvanilla

As I was reading The Selection series, I was thinking to myself, why is the king so discriminating toward the castes? It annoyed me so much that I decided to write a The Selection book where King Clarkson is actually nice! He won't hate America or any other girl because of her low caste. He will, however, not like other things about the girls... (Such as their guts) Also I'm going to have a lot of plot changes... DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE SELECTION SERIES! IT WON'T MAKE ANY SENSE TO YOU!

The overall reception of fifth and final book in the selection series has been less than satisfactory. Many would say this is due to it feeling rushed and I dare say the majority of Selectioners felt Eadlyn ended up with the wrong person. In this alternate ending which jumps in right after Hale leaves in Chapter 29 but right before she goes to propose to Kile, Eadlyn gets a visit from her mother that sets her thoughts on a course she realizes she should have been on all along.
