America Singer has just received a notice stating that the prince of Illéa, Maxon Schreave, will be holding the Selection, a competition for the prince's hand and a crown. Despite pressure from her mother and sister, May, America has no interest in entering the competition, because she already has Aspen, her secret boyfriend. Aspen's begging America to take up the opportunity at a better life, plus a bribe from her mother, leads America to entering the Selection and later into the palace where she has to compete with 34 other girls to win the prince's heart. I like this book because America goes through many hardships and confusing thoughts. She starts to love Maxon but wants to stay close with Aspen. This book reminds me of the Bachelor and Hunger Games mixed together.


I would recommend this to: Teens ages 13 and older

This book is about Peyton Honeycutt, a teenage transgender boy growing up in a small town in North Carolina. Everyone assumes he's a lesbian and he has trouble communicating why that doesn't feel right to him at first. But he meets a girl who sees him for who he really is. She helps him embrace the fact that he's a trans boy. It's a beautiful love story.


I would recommend this to: Teens and adults, transgender individuals and cisgender individuals
