Trivia[]
- According to Kiera Cass: "This was going to be the cover art for Happily Ever After, and I totally love it. BUT it was thought by some that it might be less recognizable without America on the cover, so it was changed to her face. Just a little note on how covers work. This is also why things get changed halfway through a series. Trying to make it work."
- Kiera Cass also stated that all information which were already an extra content of The Selection Stories: The Prince and The Guard are not included in Happily Ever After.
- The book is only about the first generation of The Selection series. Thus it doesn't include any information about Eadlyn's Selection in The Heir and The Crown.
- With 416 pages, it is the biggest book of The Selection Series.
