Kait, Renata, and their guest Sophi received special hand-delivered invitations to discuss The Selection by Kiera Cass. Imagine a combination of The Bachelor and The Hunger Games, but then throw that combination in the trash and read a J. Crew catalog instead, and that’s The Selection. The worldbuilding and characters make no sense, and yet somehow…we loved it even more than Prince Maxon of Illea loves America Singer? We can’t explain it, but we all accepted this rose, and we hope you will too.

Yes, The CW Passed on The Selection
Candy pairing: Kait says a fancy lollipop, Renata says cotton candy, Sophi says rock candy.
Coming up next: Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer (and the return of the Worst Bestsellers Drinking Game!)
