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.

I think the books biggest flaw is that the world just doesn't make sense. 
Because of this many choices that the characters makes feel weird, unnecessary or down right dumb. 
As a dystopian it fails to make a debate about the current topics. 
But it has a lot of action and if you just want a quick read without much to think about I would say this would work. Just check the trigger warnings. 
I do kinda like that the romantic interest thinks of Tris as a strong person and treat her as such. I just wished that the characters felt more real.

I don't know why the romantic interest falls for Tris.

Divergent is a modern classic for a reason. It showcases a brilliantly unique and throughly developed concept, and keeps the reading engaged from start to finish with a mix of action, romance, and angst. And given the length of this book, that is especially impressive. 

I would recommend that everyone even remotely interested in YA Dystopia should pick this book up at some point. Experiencing the book for the first time is a memorable experience, one that a lot of people can get something from.
