The Selection is a young adult romance and competition story set in a caste-based society where thirty-five girls, including reluctant protagonist America Singer, compete for the affection of Prince Maxon while navigating class restrictions, past relationships, and political danger at the palace.
The Selection centers on America Singer, a young woman whose society assigns people to castes from birth. Thirty-five girls are chosen to take part in the Selection, a competition in which participants live at a palace and vie for the affection of Prince Maxon. America is among those chosen, though she does not want to be. Entering the contest means leaving her home and ending her secret relationship with Aspen, who belongs to a lower caste. At the palace, she encounters Maxon in person, and her plans for her future begin to shift.
