4.5

This book is one of the first ones I remember loving and obsessing over. I recognize that it is far from a masterpiece and that the author is problematic but I also am able to so easily fall into the world and characters that Roth created. I love the flaws we see and the amount of politics that are on display. 
The Divergent series will alway bring comfort to me (except for Allegiant when needs to get thrown out.)
