The One by Kiera Cass Published by HarperTeen on June 11, 2014 Genres: Young Adult-Romance, Young Adult-Science Fiction/Dsytopian Source: Bought Buy on Amazon Goodreads I remember calling up Savannah and asking her about The Selection and her telling me that she was not sure if I would like it or not.
