huh i actually might read it now. i borrowed the book from one of my teachers (it’s been in my bag for a week. i haven’t read past the first page) it didn’t seem interesting at first but now that you’ve said it like that i might actually try and read the whole book
@@thiccpeach3660 everytime i see a comment with her name I think of the USA and i swear it takes me 5 seconds to remember the character is called America like please why do authors gotta call characters actual places/countries 😭💀
steph: awwww i love maxon he is legit such a softie *5 seconds later* steph: nvm i hate him he is such an asshole *5 seconds later* steph: the letters 🥺🥺 *5 seconds later* steph: ew i dont like him anymore * 5 seconds later* steph: why can't men handle there emotions
Plus, Maxon is expected to find a relationship with thirty-four other girls. It’s a competition! America is an idiot for kissing Ass-Pin because doing so during the Selection could get both of them killed or seriously endangered! She and Ass-Pin went from being low class Five and Six to being promoted to a Three and Two due the Selection and draft respectively. All that could be taken away if they’re caught. Neither of them should even risk having a relationship with each or being close while America is still in the Selection and can make up her flipping mind!
Yeah when I reading it the first time I was like “oh my gosh why would he do that?” But then I realized America did the same thing at then I was confused why she was mad lmao
I actually got mad at America for doing that. I mean, Maxon wanted to find love but he also had a country with high rates of poverty, low education quality, and they weren’t precisely under the best diplomatic terms with other countries, plus they were under constant rebel attacks, all of that needed to be solved. He had to find a girl that was able to pull with all of that and still love and accept him. The country needed a better king than his father and he needed someone that would help him do better for his people. I don’t justify Maxon for playing around though 😅 I mean, the excuse for what he did withCeleste wasn’t the best But yeah, he was under a lot of pressure, he had to consider his feelings, the country needs, and what his abusive dad wanted
Am on the second book and I keep thinking if she thinks is normal to be with two of them at the same time. I feel so bad for Maxon. She doesn’t deserve him. Hopefully she changes.She is the most hated character for me.
even from the beginning i had this kind of “love to hate” feelings towards her, probably cause i’ve always aspired to be really confident (not so much evil tho lol)
I did not know that nooooooo i am in the first half of the second book and now i am spoiled noooo i should watch this video after i finished the series
America being mad at maxon for being with kriss when she was with aspen the whole time makes me so angry. And that was maxon only way to find love while america had aspen as a backup plan.
IKRRR i dont understand why ppl are being mad for maxon for hanging out with other girls when America hasnt been straight up with her feelings for him. Clearly, he loves her, but he's giving HER a choice of whether she wanted him and the life that comes along with it. I felt like elite and the one werent necessarily about maxon picking from the other girls (coz after the selection he seemed pretty decided that it was Amrica all the way) but rather America making up her mind between him and Aspen while Maxon figures out which girl he would marry if America decides she doesnt love him.......
@@reese3221 Yeah, I remember when we're told the longer it takes for a prince to choose his bride, the worse it looks to his people. I felt so bad for Maxon.
yea dont read the spin off. its literally terrible and i hate their daughter sm. but one of the cute parts in the book about their daughter is when shes like "i don't know why, but whenever its raining, mom and dad always go onto the roof and dance in the rain" and it makes my heart melt bc i love them so much. their daughter is the rudest person on the planet though
also i HATED who she ended up with... they literally have no chemistry and he wasnt even part of the selection.. like- bro? also half of the boys were sooo petty and annoying and the story wasn't good
@@jules-si8vu I agree. Eadlyn and Kyle 4ever in my heart. Kiera forgot how to write a good book like the selection and invented this horrible plot twist.
bye I only started sobbing when her dad died because I remembered that one scene where they were all talking about their weddings and she was like "I want my dad to walk me down the aisle." And it hit so hard, I thought they'd take more advantage of that moment later on but was disappointed when they completely drifted over it
That was SO sad!!! But when I read “The Favorite”, I understood it a little more. True love is something you’d be willing to do ANYTHING for, even get caned 😭
“Who’s this mofo in the tree house?” MY EXACT THOUGHTS. I read the first three books like two months ago for the first time and I LOVE them. Greatly enjoyed it.
lol same I read them in like middle school and like 5 or 6 years later (a month ago) I reread it again and finished them in 1 week, after watching this video I just don't get tired of the story UGH SO GOOD
stop literally same tho. I read the first one and was like “yess Maxon” AND THE SECOND AND THIRD I HATED MAXON SO MUCH AND LOVED ASPEN cause Maxon was being such a jerk the entire rest of the series. I only kept reading because I connected with America. I really love the writer so much because her characters are great and the writing is amazing but Maxon is just terrible-
@@Gsoccer-rk6uw omg yesss, on the second book i was "go aspen!!!" but on the third book they were both so annoying and irritanting that i thought the best choice for America is me 👁️👄👁️
@@dudamartins1245 Yup yup you are so right. I am on the last one rn and they are both annoying me so much. BUT CELESTE AND AMERICA BECOMING FRIENDS IS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE BOOK
just now starting this video and if you don’t have a positive review on these books part of my heart might die. I’m 19 and this is still my favorite series and I read it at least once a year.
As someone who read this series like 5 years ago in grade 8 and basically completely forget what happened but never had interest to reread, this reading vlog was amazing. Reminded me of all that happened in the books and kinda feels like I just re-read them through this video so thanks :)))
Ok so something I have to point out that I figured out when I reread the books is that when America was in the great room and all the girls were talking about what they wanted at their wedding and America said all she wanted was her dad to walk her down the aisle so she knows he fully accepts and agrees with her choice of man but then he dies before she gets married. Made me sad when I realized it but I like how Aspen walked her down the aisle like turning the other cheek or whatever
@@kaylafletchh If you're only reading the main novels , then it's shatter me , unravel me , ignite me , restore me , defy me and imagine me . But I'd say that the first 3 books are better than the later 3 😁
19:18 I'm waiting until I read The One before I watch the rest because I don't want to spoil it for myself. But the whole time I was just laughing because it's funny watching others react to books I've already read. My favorite was when Steph said, "Omg Dad no, it's my choice and I want her to stay! Bet you weren't thinking that when your tongue was down Celeste's throat last night." 😂😂
I just finished reading the 3 books in The Selection series and I enjoyed it so much especially as a 14 year old. Definitely a comfort book for me now!!
Love how America had the audacity to be jealous of everyone else and get mad at Maxon for kissing someone else while she’s literally cheating on him with aspen
Right!! Aspen is not that bad but I’d rather much stay with Maxon. Aspen didn’t really believe America could be a queen when she was looking for encouragement, and just disrupted the connection maxon and America were starting to have in the second book 🙄
@@a.nastasia.olivia personally, i don't like him because he broke her heart, then chased her to the palace. like you can't have your cake and eat it too. and even when america told him to back off and that she wanted to see where her relationship with maxon could go, he literally said no. like sir- that's not your choice.
this was such a good video! you should do this with the shatter me series! It's a dystopian/ low fantasy series that has 6 books and they are all very entertaining and short with good love interests :)
@@sweetdreamz9282 well not really, actually. If you read the Novella that Kiera Cass wrote about Lucy and Aspen, it's more about how he can't let go of the past. He doesn't want to let go of the idea of America and Him being together forever that he had before the selection, even though he was falling in love with Lucy
Finally someone who understands, I honestly really like aspen. I just don’t understand why he gets so much hate. Sure he was annoying at times but America was stringing him and Maxon along.
cant believe she’s already at 130k😭😭 literally remember when she was at 15k, her channel grew so fast. i def expected this tho, her videos are always such good quality and entertaining :)
I read this series a last month, I’m like you too...was late into the game. I’m 24 and eventhough this book may be for younger audiences, I found myself loving this book and getting so attached to the characters. Really gave me an emotional rollercoaster. After I finished these 3 books I had to take like 3-4 days break from reading anything cuz I was having a Post-book blues. It’s a series that really took away my heart and soul. Took a bit of time for me to detach myself from it a little cuz my mind keeps playing out scenes of this book.
I read these books when I was about 12/13 years old and I didn't know anything that happened 😭😂 Could you do a series where you read the grishaverse books?(shadow and bone trilogy, six of crows duology and king of scars duology?)
no because this is my favorite book series ever. probably because it has so much nostalgia and so many memories attached because i read it when i was in the early years of high school BUT STILL i could re-read it until the end of time even if it has flaws
girl im reading through it rn! i kinda wish i read it when i was younger bc it was definitely written for a younger audience... also babe u NEED to read kisses and croissants!!! best book I've ever read
"I've been kinda waiting for Maxon though to find out cause I need that drama in my." definitely me when Aspen and America started kissing and meeting each other.
I read this book series when I was 13 and it became such a comfort place, I read the first 3 at least 4 times. Now I see them in a different light and critique but i enjoyed so much back in the day. It makes me emotional though 😭
This almost made me cry. I read the selection series when i was in my tweens and now, watching this as a grown ass woman, i know it's not one of the greatest but IT'S JUST-- YOU KNOW. This video brought back a lot of memories that I was motivated to read it all over again. I loved it I loved the commentary and all the emotions it brought thank you so so much 💗
I was expecting you to react to the "break my heart a thousand times" line, bc that line is... The line lowkey I want someone to tell me, without de dying part and massive shooting lol
i feel like these books lost me when it started feeling like maxon didnt even prefer america to kriss- like why am i even reading these books if they arent even convincing me of the main couple anymore?
I am literally so excited for the tv show or movie for the selection I wish they would tell us the release date or when there going to start production
Personally, the reason that I think the books are so incredible is the characters. You slowly fall in love with each character, and can’t get enough of them. It forces you to keep reading.
I like how the love triangles in the selection and the hunger games are similar too: Indecisive emotional but badass female/MC: America and Katniss Brunette close friend/boyfriend from home whom the MC leaves when “reaped” for a competition: Aspen and Gale Blonde and sweet character whom the MC meets at the competition; has the most money out of the three: Maxon and Peeta Both MCs end up with the blondes but go back and forth between them and the brunettes throughout the series
This was the first YA book series I read at 13/14 🙈🙈 it rlly got me into fantasy. I genuinely still love the story and the characters idk it just reminds me of where I started 😭
I was a Senior in High School and read The Selection for the first time, and it got me back into reading and have read the first three books 3 or 4 times... I love the series
"Its basically the hunger games, but if the hunger games wasn't about murdering children." Is the best way to summarize this series.
Hunger games but on the bachelor
@@raquelsanchez2433 perfect synopsis lmao

“break my heart , break it a thousand times , it was only yours to break anyway.” MY FAVORITE QUOTE FROM THE WHOLE SERIES
Same 😭😭
The one quote that I still remember from when I was in year 7 in 2014
Same!!!
That quote is the best quote in the entire series, it gets me everytime
I CRIED WHEN HE SAID THAT AH
*in an angry tone* "I DON'T REALLY FUCK WITH HIM (MAXON) RIGHT NOW

So accurate
LITERALLY ME WHEN I WAS READING IT

Maxon was the reason 😂. I read them like 4 times at the age of 13 and 14 lol
SAME!!!!!!!!!

I read these books when I was about 12/13 years old and I didn't know anything that happened 😭😂
Could you do a series where you read the grishaverse books?(shadow and bone trilogy, six of crows duology and king of scars duology?)
those are my current reads!
FINALLY!!! OMG SERIOUSLY ALL YOUR REACTIONS WERE SPOT ON!!
no because this is my favorite book series ever. probably because it has so much nostalgia and so many memories attached because i read it when i was in the early years of high school BUT STILL i could re-read it until the end of time even if it has flaws
do a reading vlog of a colleen hoover book you havent read yet or a reading vlog of you reading the invisible life of Addie larue
girl im reading through it rn! i kinda wish i read it when i was younger bc it was definitely written for a younger audience... also babe u NEED to read kisses and croissants!!! best book I've ever read
i remember reading this in 7th grade, years later its still one of my favvvv book series of all time♡
"I've been kinda waiting for Maxon though to find out cause I need that drama in my." definitely me when Aspen and America started kissing and meeting each other.
I read this book series when I was 13 and it became such a comfort place, I read the first 3 at least 4 times. Now I see them in a different light and critique but i enjoyed so much back in the day.
It makes me emotional though 😭
These books are so entertaining until you start thinking about what's happening in them 😭
This almost made me cry. I read the selection series when i was in my tweens and now, watching this as a grown ass woman, i know it's not one of the greatest but IT'S JUST-- YOU KNOW. This video brought back a lot of memories that I was motivated to read it all over again. I loved it I loved the commentary and all the emotions it brought thank you so so much 💗
I was expecting you to react to the "break my heart a thousand times" line, bc that line is... The line lowkey I want someone to tell me, without de dying part and massive shooting lol
Pretty sure I’ve watched this videos like 3 times but i will keep coming back to it. It’s literally my comfort video
i feel like these books lost me when it started feeling like maxon didnt even prefer america to kriss- like why am i even reading these books if they arent even convincing me of the main couple anymore?
AHH literally one of my fave notifications to get, this girl is my favorite UA-camr of all time
I remember reading this series in three days. Crack cocaine were laced within those pages
no literally i read it on vacation and missed like half the trip
“Why are they under attack every damn day???”
My EXACT thought process when reading these 💀
The whole selection thing is giving me love island vibes
The way your reactions to the books made me laugh!! Alsooo the book Happily Ever After is just a few stories from the characters in The Selection.
THE WAY I JUST FINISHED THIS!? SO EXCITED TO SEE IF WE HAVE THE SAME THOUGHTS
I am literally so excited for the tv show or movie for the selection I wish they would tell us the release date or when there going to start production
not me having only books steph recommends in my tbr😌
I just read off campus and you were who I pictured as Hannah the entire time 😭 (that’s the biggest complement obvi)
I just started it too , and I read the one with fitz and summer . And now I'm reading the one with hannah
Omg I just bought the first book 😂 I’m excited
@@Coastalbootsandshells I’m excited for you lmao!!!
@@courtlynnwomble4890 You should read the books in order, you'll understand better the whole series
Me waiting for your reaction to maxon finding America with Aspen like: 👁👄👁
“Break my heart break my heart a thousand times it was only ever yours to break” had me balling😭😭😭😭
I LOVE IT WHEN HES LIKE BREAK MY HEART BLAH ITS YOURS AHHHH
Steph is literally a new character in every single look. Absolutely gorgeous!
Steph why were you ACTUALLY so funny in this video!!!! Like I was CRACKING UP!! "Like he hunts? Like animals?" I'm DEAD HAHAHA
steph we need a monthly book tour cuz that collection grows day by day
Personally, the reason that I think the books are so incredible is the characters. You slowly fall in love with each character, and can’t get enough of them. It forces you to keep reading.
Its almost like the balacaraote
I like how the love triangles in the selection and the hunger games are similar too:
Indecisive emotional but badass female/MC: America and Katniss
Brunette close friend/boyfriend from home whom the MC leaves when “reaped” for a competition: Aspen and Gale
Blonde and sweet character whom the MC meets at the competition; has the most money out of the three: Maxon and Peeta
Both MCs end up with the blondes but go back and forth between them and the brunettes throughout the series
This was the first YA book series I read at 13/14 🙈🙈 it rlly got me into fantasy. I genuinely still love the story and the characters idk it just reminds me of where I started 😭
The “after” series pleeease or just a video on how you like it? Books vs movies? Also love your videos🙈
As someone who loved the series,i found it both hilarious and amazing to watch her mood swings and reactions. YES GIRL😂💗
I was a Senior in High School and read The Selection for the first time, and it got me back into reading and have read the first three books 3 or 4 times... I love the series
