Omg! This book was everything! I think I hoped so much for the character’s to achieve their goals that I felt I was in the story! There were times where I was just so sad for Tris that I couldn’t move. There were also times where I felt pure joy and this book brought the best of me into the real world! This book really makes you feel for this characters! This is a must read!

Do not let how gory it is stop you! You will have to push through a lot of blood and abuse, but I promise it is worth the read!
