Confessions of a Binge Reader

Confession: I'm a binge reader.
I read just like I Netflix. In binges.With series. Getting just a little too attached to the point where I question how healthy it is.
Well for the last 3 days I've unhealthily read through an entire series.
The series is called The Selection. (Yes I did choose it based on the cover) (Yes I am THAT Basic)
No wonder its a top summer read, it's a mix between Hunger Games, The Bachelor, & a Fairy Tale.
Any average teenager/young female adult would eat.it.up.
I mean look at those covers.
If it doesn't get made into a film I will be surprised.
Lets face it everyone loves a bad series. And it was, so bad. I loved it. Granted a well written book can change everything, but a poorly written book does not always make a terrible read. The reader determines how they picture it in there head, how the words are delivered by the characters. Sure the author tries to tell you how you should feel, how they feel, but you get to choose in the end how you want to feel, whether you side with the author or dare I say believe the author, especially when written in first person.
Though, for a three book series it does feel very drawn out.
However...overall,
Would I recommend reading it?: YES.
I guess I didn't waste three days of my life after all.
