Read for the first time when I was 13, an edit came up on my fyp and I thought I would re read again, even though now I mostly don't gravitate towards YA fiction. I regret nothing. 13 year old me had good taste.

The Divergent series was built on such an interesting concept and was written well. Veronica Roth is a talented author and has published some of my favorite stories.

It has been a long time since I read a book I would love so much. Fantasy, dystopian, it's all so welcoming. The world created might be dangerous, but the way the author writes, makes me feel like I would have given up everything to be in that place. Not only the world created is stupendous, but the characters are so lovable that I'd do anything to replace someone from the book (not people like Peter though).  The aura, the longing for something romantic, the ecstatic feeling when something goes in Tris's or Four's favor and the emotional hurt when someone good dies out of bravery or because of that Jeanine is just so overwhelming that I could not just keep it down and read for hours not thinking about anything, but the book. This book was just PERFECT!

This is the best book I’ve ever read in my entire life and it will stay that way forever. Divergent made me fall in love with reading. Of all the books I’ve read, Tris is one of the only character I can relate to so she’s special to me. Moreover, I love Four with my whole heart. I love the story, the plot and the dialogues. I love the parts I hate, (because some scenes that are meant to be hated and they are well done). 
So, thank you, V. Thank you for writing the 14-year-old me her favorite book… it is still my favorite book, more than 5 years later.
