The Favorite audiobook

4 This shouldn't HURT this much ★'s “I’d rather have my last memory be of his death than suffer knowing that his last memory was of mine.” Buddy read with my, girl Desireé :) Wow! This was a really fantastic novella and I must say this is my favorite novella in the series! It was such a wonderful and refreshing read, it was fast-passed and it made me smile :) This is in Marlee's POV and we get a look into Marlee and Carter's relationship, how they first met, how they fell in love and what happened to them after the caning. I love all the extra juicy details into there relationship and I really enjoyed seeing a few scenes that happened throughout The Selection series but through Marlee's eyes. I have been dying to see what exactly led up to that intense and heartbreaking moment that tore at my heartstrings in The Elite and it did not disappoint whatsoever! I have always adored Marlee from day one when America met her on the plane on there way to the palace in The Selection. In which they became fast friends. Marlee is such an amazing character and I absolutely love her!! So to have this book and in her POV I was beyond thrilled. I love Marlee and America's friendship and her relationship with Carter melted my heart. Marlee and Carter's relationship was so beautiful and touching and the love they have for one another was so inspiring. I love that even with EVERYTHING... all that they suffered and endured they still managed to persevere. And that ending was everything I had hoped it would be and it was so so sweet :) Illustration of Marlee & What I picture she'd look like.Illustration of Carter & What I picture he'd look like.“I had found my soul mate. I knew it. And there was too much love in my heart to leave room for regret.” “I wasn’t alone. We had each other. The pain would last temporarily, but on the other side of it, I had Carter forever. My love, forever.”

Esta historia corta casi me mata de todos los feels que me produjo. Miren, Marlee no era de mis personajes favoritos en The Selection y, a pesar de lo que le sucede llegado cierto punto de la historia, no me importó mucho en su momento. Sin embargo, leer toda su historia desde sus ojos es una experiencia totalmente diferente. Sobre todo porque no es una historia lineal, sino que va dando saltos del presente/futuro al pasado. Creo que mi problema con Marlee es que no conocí su historia de amor prohibida con Carter de primera mano en los libros de The Selection, así que todo fue muy "se enamoró de un guardia y ahora los tienen que azotar, volver Ochos y echar del Palacio". ¡Pero todo cambia cuando lees The Favorite! Con esta historia corta ya conocemos cómo fue el primer encuentro de Marlee con Carter, cómo coqueteaban a escondidas, cómo se robaban sonrisas, roces, guiños... cómo se enamoraron perdidamente el uno del otro. Creo que lo que más me llegó de The Favorite fue el amor que se sentía a través de las páginas. A pesar de ser un relato corto, llegamos a percibir los sentimientos de Carter hacia Marlee y el gran lazo que se forma entre ellos. Y, además, gracias a esta historia también vemos la infinita bondad de Maxon al ayudarlos en sus peores momentos... tanto en los inmediatamente posteriores a los azotes, como meses después cuando él ya es el Rey de Illéa.

My Favourite! King Maxon never ceases to astound me 😍

Such a fun read for Saturday! I love the Selection world and it was fun reading this short story. Way cute, as always.

listen I stan one selection couple and that couple is MARLEE AND CARTERso i’ll be honest, I completely forget most things about the “selection” series but the marlee & carter story is one that I still remember. & I saw this novella and just thought okay, yes, I stan, let’s read. one thing i’ll like to say before my gushing begins is that THE WRITING. omg. THE WRITING. was this how the entire selection series was written? i hope not. the writing was kinda really bad as compared to a lot of the new books i’ve read and that’s my opinion so don’t @ me. but I totally get that this is a novella like 58 pages long so whatever bUT i’m second guessing my ratings for the other three real books because I don’t remember if the writing was this bad. spoilers ahead for the selection series and basically this novella, but there’s nothing major to be spoiled for the novella imo. but i’ll let you, the reader of the review, decide that for yourself. dun dun dunnnnnn anywaysssss onto WHY I LOVE MARLEE AND CARTER SO. MUCH. i am absolute and utter trash for princess/guard stories like these. to be fair i’ve only read like two other stories with this but I LOVE IT. I have no clue why I love princess/guard love stories. but I do. this novella basically gives a glimpse at the thought process of Marlee through falling in love with Carter, the caning, and life after that (all the way up to after the One). it was really short so not that substantial, but like I said, I was so ready to remember why I was obsessed with this couple.and here’s why: I sighed. “I’m scared not to have a home.”“Don’t be. I might be a little worthless at the moment, but I can take care of us. I even know how to build an igloo if we end up somewhere cold.”I smiled. “Do you really?”He nodded. “I’ll build you the prettiest igloo, Marlee. Everyone will be so jealous.” shssshjxaha carter is so underrated like, maxon who? we only love carter in this house? and while there are some really cliché dialogues and there were times (yes even in a 58 page book) that I was cringing just a bit, mostly due to Marlee’s way of talking/the words used to describe how she was talking (i don’t even know if I make sense). and also, I so wish that their relationship was fleshed out more in the beginning. I’d gladly read like 100 pgs of them falling in love slowly asjsdshcs anyone know any good fanfics about them??bUT LOOK AT THIS: I kept my face turned, trying not to get anxious at the sounds Carter made. keep in mind he’s just been caned and is bloody and in pain and they’re trying to change his clothes 😭😭😭😭 AND THIS: “One thing”, Carter said tiredly. “When you get a chance, can you find us a preacher?” I only love my bed and Carter Woodwork, I’m sorry. they literally give each other PIECES OF TWINE AS WEDDING BANDS it’s just,,, too much to handle for this romantic over here. “But I wouldn’t even be able to use my own flour to make you one. It’d be stealing.”He kissed my cheek. “True. Besides, the last time I stole something, it was pretty big, and I got more than I deserved, and I’m already happy with what I have.”“You didn’t steal me. I’m not a teapot.”“Hmm,” he said. “Maybe you stole me. Because I distinctly remember belonging to myself once, but now I’m all yours.” my hearrrttttttttoverall this was so good to read for my marlee x carter loving heart, and kiera cass does know how to write her male love interests. i’m going to treasure this novella and read it whenever my ships sink in other books :)

The Favorite is another companion novella to the Selection series. In this installment we get a behind the scenes look at Marlee and Carter's relationship told from Marlee's point of view. I really enjoy these extra looks into the story as I often feel like the main books left out a lot of background information. This one let's us know how Marlee and Carter met and fell in love and what happens to them after the caning. There were peeks to the events in the main story but adding the extra details makes the story much more appealing to me. Overall, an enjoyable addition to the Selection series, best to be read after finishing The One as it gives hints to the ending of that if you haven't read it yet.

This was beautiful. I love Marlee so much and I'm so happy that she got her happy ending. Her relationship is so pure and perfect and I loved being able to see different events from her POV.

Reading Marlees story was without a doubt my favorite (Hahah, favorite get it?). She is such a lovely character I would love to read more about her! Her story is so sweet and adorable, I loved it!

Este relato me gustó mucho, no lo esperaba leer nunca pero me alegro de haberlo hecho.Si alguna vez sentiste curiosidad por la historia de Marlee con Carter, este es tu relato.Yo siempre quise saber más de ellos, desde que se conocieron hasta lo que les pasa luego del castigo inhumano que les puso el rey. Admiraba su amor y fuerza cuando pasó lo último en "La Élite", desde ese momento quedé con ganas de más, por suerte esta corta historia me lo dio. Empaticé mucho con ambos personajes, Carter era la roca de Marlee desde el primer momento. Tenían un amor prohibido, pero todos sabemos que eso solo hace que sea más emocionante.No hay mucho que pueda decir, ya que básicamente es un relato muy corto, pero si diré que me gustó mucho, siento que cumple con su función y te mantiene intrigado. Sin duda estos personajes se aman, me alegra que su relación fuese lo suficiente fuerte para sobrevivir lo que les tocó pasar.

Este me lo leí del tirón. Está narrado por Marlee desde la noche de la fiesta de Halloween, así que comienza más o menos a la vez que "El guardián". Pero narra algunos puntos clave en vez de suceder linealmente en el tiempo, va saltando y llega hasta el final del tercer libro. Eso me gusta. Me ha resultado muy interesante.

La favorita, última historia corta de la saga "La Selección" y escrito por Kiera Cass. Con este relato me he quedado con ganas de mucho más. La protagonista no deja de sorprenderme en las pocas páginas que tiene la historia corta. Conocer desde su punto de vista su recorrido en La Selección ha sido una delicia a la hora de leer. Sin lugar a dudas es la favorita tanto para el reino de Illéa como para mi como lectora.

Shortest Story to make me cry!
