But America cannot commit to him, because she still loves Aspen who is now a guard outside her room in the palace and because she doesn't know if she wants the responsibility being Princess will bring.
Prince Maxon repeatedly tells America that if she says yes to him - if she tells him that she loves him, the competition will be over. But America is beset by jealously over his attentions to the other five girls whom she sees as less than capable and by conflict over her unresolved feelings towards Aspen. The novel primarily focuses on America's struggle to choose between her first love Aspen whom she believed no longer loved her, and Prince Maxon who offers her status, wealth and possibly a chance to change things for the better.Īmerica seems to be the favourite of Prince Maxon who demonstrates his preference for her by sharing a palace secret and spending a significant amount of time with her. Each of these girls is vying to be the wife and eventual queen of Prince Maxon, next in line for the throne.
The second installment in the Selection series continues the story of Prince Maxon's attempts to select a wife from the six remaining young women - Celeste Newsome, Kriss Ambers, Marlee Tames, Natalie Luca, Elise Whisks and America Singer, who are known as the Elite.
