A book that I loved to the point where I finished it in two and half days (yes, it was that awesome that I couldn't put it down for anything) was
The Selection by Kiera Cass
The summary for it is: For thirty-five girls, the Selection is the chance of a lifetime. The opportunity to escape the life laid out for them since birth. To be swept up in a world of glittering gowns and priceless jewels. To live in the palace and compete for the heart of the gorgeous Prince Maxon.
But for America Singer, being Selected is a nightmare. It means turning her back on her secret love with Aspen, who is a caste below her. Leaving her home to enter a fierce competition for a crown she doesn't want. Living in a palace that is constantly threatened by violent rebel attacks.
Then America meets Prince Maxon. Gradually, she starts to question all the plans she's made for herself- and realizes that the life she's always dreamed of may not compare to a future she never imagined.
Genres would have to be (to my guess though) Romance and drama.
I think the story is going to have a second part to it titled The Elite (majorly guessing here; if you want to get a small hint of what the next book might be...)
