Booked & Busy w/ Olivia Ponton
The Selection Series by Kiera Cass
The Bachelor reimagined through a dystopian, royal lens.
Today on Booked & Busy, I’m diving into The Selection by Kiera Cass — a world of castes, palace politics, rebellions, and a love triangle that unravels slowly and beautifully.
We follow America Singer as she navigates duty, desire, and the weight of choosing between what’s familiar and what could change her life entirely. I’m unpacking the characters, the social hierarchy, the rebellion threads woven into the background, and the scenes that feel almost cinematic.
If you’ve ever wondered how this story would translate on screen… I have thoughts.
Pour a cup of tea and settle in — this episode is for anyone who loves romance with a layer of world-building and social commentary.
Spoiler warning for anyone who hasn’t finished the series yet.
