But the passion doesn’t last long, and later on, in the movie, it’s become apparent that Hardin is adamant about the idea of dating. Before they know it, the two start flirting with each other and eventually kiss in the water. Hardin suddenly enters and the two share a lingering moment before Tessa snaps out of it and leaves.įor the next couple of days, Hardin persuades Tessa to come with him to a lake house. She bluntly refuses and escapes the party, accidentally wandering around Hardin’s house. The group suggests playing Truth or Dare, and Tessa is dared to lock lips with Hardin.

There, Tessa gets to know the rest of Steph and Tristan’s clique, which just so happens to include Hardin Scott, a mysterious boy she met in her dorm room.

Steph invites Tessa to a party at a frat house, to which she reluctantly agrees. Nevertheless, Tessa gets along with her new friends and settles down at her dorm. Unlike the studious Tessa, Steph and Tristan are all about the party scene. Upon her arrival, Tessa is greeted by Steph Jones, Tessa’s roommate, and her girlfriend, Tristan. On the day of her move-in, she’s accompanied by her caring yet rather controlling mother, Carol Young, and her high school sweetheart Noah Porter. I would rate it 4 stars.After introduces Tessa Young, a high school graduate who’s just about to start her first day at Washington Central University as an undeclared economics major. Overall, I loved this book, and thought it was a great addition to both my bookshelf, and the series. The Prince and The Guard talked about both Maxon’s and Aspen’s views on The Selection, which was fun to read. Where are they now? shows us what Natalie, Elise and Kriss are doing after The One. We also get to see the scene where Celeste is dismissed, and I realised that she’s actually a decent human being. We get to read about the kiss that America catches. We get to read about the ride to the palace, and see that she was actually lonely, and wanting someone to fangirl with. In Happily Ever After we get to read three scenes from Celeste’s point of view.

Obviously I hated her when she was horrid to the Selected, but I always felt, especially towards the end of the series, that she was just misunderstood. Despite being such a horrible, catty person in the series, she always fascinated me.

I really enjoyed reading scenes from Celeste’s point of view.
