Divergent is a much talked about book in many circles these days, one I was a little reluctant to read but put it on my library hold list nonetheless. There is a lot of great YA dystopian fiction out there right now, so I tend to ask myself if I should really pick a new series up or not, because being on trend doesnt necessarily mean its actually a good book. While I wouldnt classify this as my favorite in the genre, its still a solid book and I was quite entertained while reading it.

We get to meet Beatrice basically on the day of her aptitude test, the first step to shaping the rest of her life. She is conflicted about what faction shell choose from the start, hoping the test will help make it more clear to her, which sadly doesnt happen. To me, its her first harsh lesson of many to come even if you think something might help you make a decision, you really need to be prepared to make it on your own.
