A return to YA book series to get me out of my reading slump! I always enjoy a dystopian book and Divergent was no exception. It was nothing ground-breaking and there are definitely some questionable sections about sensitive topics (e.g., body image, sexual assault, suicide). But, regardless, it is definitely a page-turner packed full of action.
