Summary: From Good Reads
The time has come for one winner to be crowned.

When she was chosen to compete in the Selection, America never dreamed she would find herself anywhere close to the crown—or to Prince Maxon's heart. But as the end of the competition approaches, and the threats outside the palace walls grow more vicious, America realizes just how much she stands to lose—and how hard she'll have to fight for the future she wants.

Feelings: 
This book concluded the series in much the way I was expecting. There were a few twists I didn't expect but for the most part it was pretty predictable. I admit that I started reading this series because I liked the dresses on the cover. I was not let down. The series was aimed at a younger audience than me and I knew that when I started reading them. I still enjoyed them as a good brain candy read.

America and Maxon don't really seem like a good match to me for as much as they doubt each other, yet they do have chemistry. The ending was satisfying in the way an ending that isn't the worst but the best outcome can be. I'm glad I finished the series. I plan of checking out other books by Kiera Cass in the future. It will be interesting to see what kind of writer she becomes after this series has been so popular.
