Waiting on Wednesday (25)

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly meme, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we seriously can’t wait for.

 Here's my pick for the week, that I seriously can't wait for:

The Selection by Kiera Cass

Release Date: April 24, 2012

For thirty-five girls, the Selection is the chance of a lifetime. The opportunity to escape the life laid out for them since birth. To be swept up in a world of glittering gowns and priceless jewels. To live in the palace and compete for the heart of the gorgeous Prince Maxon.  

But for America Singer, being Selected is a nightmare. It means turning her back on her secret love with Aspen, who is a caste below her. Leaving her home to enter a fierce competition for a crown she doesn't want. Living in a palace that is constantly threatened by violent rebel attacks.  

Then America meets Prince Maxon. Gradually, she starts to question all the plans she's made for herself- and realizes that the life she's always dreamed of may not compare to a future she never imagined.

How gorgeous is this book?  I usually have a problem which pretty girls in pretty dresses, but the cover just seems to fit the description so perfectly that I am okay with it.  The premise sounds really interesting, and has potential to be beautiful and dark.  Of course I love royalty tales, and the caste system in place seems interesting.  Like I really want to know if there is an equivalent thing for boys.  April can't come soon enough!
