The author ruined this book, with its false advertising and her background in supposed child psychology or whatever. It picked up definitely at the end and really felt like more of a story in the second half but I think this is poor and damaging for anyone who isn't an adult to read this.

this was just uneeded really. I get it if you're really invested in four and tris but this book gives you nothing new. yes you get to know a bit more about fours life but we are already told the basics in the trilogy. As well as this, more of it than I care for is just copied dialogue from the first book and tobias' point of view mashed into the same scenes.
