Divergent by Veronica Roth

In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue—Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is—she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself. During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles to determine who her friends really are. But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers a growing conflict that threatens to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves… or it might destroy her.
THIS STORY IS AMAZING! I could not put it down, read the whole book in one day. I love Tris. I love how strong she is and can relate to her pride. No matter how much she struggles, her pride will not allow her to hang her head or embrace defeat.I love how strong she becomes. I instantly fell in love with Four. I clung to every page that was about it him and wanted much more of him. He was like a mystery I couldn't wait to solve. The story was full of action and suspense while still providing a love story and self empowerment. Hope Insurgent is just as amazing.
