I’m a dystopian sucker so naturally I enjoyed Divergent. 

I enjoy the concept of the different factions. I also enjoyed Tris and Tobias’s relationship growth throughout the book.

“Fear doesn’t shut you down; it wakes you up”

Wow. This world and these characters are so real and easy to connect with. I loved the relationship dynamics between characters - especially Tris and Four. Each character was believable and it was clear that each was an individual with a backstory and reasons for actions - all the secondary character arcs were in depth and well executed without being the focus of the story.

The plot was well paced and set up well for the next book. I'm really excited to start Insurgent because the world building and plot just from this first book is crazy! I've wanted to get into this series for a while and I'm so glad I've finally started because it really lives up to the hype. So far there's been a great balance of romance/tension, action, and world building.

And GIRL . The characters are so fuckable.

would've loved this if a) there weren't multiple instances of SA/harassment and b) if abnegation made even a lick of sense. none at all.
