I'd been enthralled with this in high school but returning to it as an adult is... interesting. I didn't care about Tris the entire book, and found myself only invested when the story involved Four. The writing felt contrived and a lot of the concept was just really cringey, especially with Tris not knowing what the word Divergent meant for two-thirds of the book. World building was nice though.

I absolutely loved this book! I read 427 pages in ONE day and finished the book, that's how much I loved it. Would recommend.

A return to YA book series to get me out of my reading slump! I always enjoy a dystopian book and Divergent was no exception. It was nothing ground-breaking and there are definitely some questionable sections about sensitive topics (e.g., body image, sexual assault, suicide). But, regardless, it is definitely a page-turner packed full of action.
