Synopsis (from Goodreads): The Selection changed
America Singer's life in ways she never could have imagined. Since she
entered the competition to become the next princess of Illéa, America
has struggled with her feelings for her first love, Aspen—and her
growing attraction to Prince Maxon. Now she's made her choice . . . and
she's prepared to fight for the future she wants.
Find out who America will choose in The One, the enchanting, beautifully romantic third book in the Selection series!
My Thoughts: I've loved this series since book one and I wasn't disappointed with The One. I am very happy with the way it ended and I'm happy with the choice that America made.
America finally grew up and dealt with things with a little more maturity. She doesn't spend her time whining about how unfair things are and she finally makes a decision as to what she wants and decides to fight for that choice.
I am glad that America was able to put aside her bad feelings for Celeste and they started to become somewhat friends. It was refreshing to see Celeste as a decent human being instead of the horrible one that she was in the first two books. She still has issues but at least she is tolerable now.
I do think that America could have handled her relationship with Aspen so much better, especially when it came to telling Maxon about him. There were many opportunities when she could have spoken to Maxon about the relationship and America was never brave enough to do it. In the end, it (of course) causes a lot of unnecessary heartache.
I thought there was a good amount of action in the book and I liked how America tied all the pieces together about who was involved with the Northern Rebels and how the Northern Rebels were so different from the Southern Rebels. I enjoyed the new characters that were from the Northern Rebel gang.
I thought the book ended on the right note. America gets to fight for her man (whether she gets him or not is another question) and the trouble with the Rebel groups keeps things interesting and action packed. If you have enjoyed the other two books in the series, I think you will be happy with this one as well.

I remember wanting to read The One for so long. I just wanted to figure out who America ended up with it. Outside of that, I wasn't really in love with the way it ended. I like the change in America and her progression in the entire series, but I'm not sure if it's the book I wanted or needed in the end.
