Overview:
In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago world, 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 alongside her fellow initiates to live out the choice they have made. Together they must undergo extreme physical tests of endurance and intense psychological simulations, some with devastating consequences. As initiation transforms them all, Tris must determine who her friends really are—and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes exasperating boy fits into the life she's chosen. 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 unrest and growing conflict that threaten to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves . . . or it might destroy her.

And in times of war, sides must be chosen, secrets will emerge, and choices will become even more irrevocable—and even more powerful.

My Thoughts:
I absolutely loved this series! I couldn't put any of these books down. I really like Tris and Tobias's characters. I love how they start off with an attraction to the other, and how their attraction and love grew throughout the series. Their love is admirable but it didn't come without it's ups and downs. I love Tris's bravery. She's a bada$$, and I'm here for the girl power! I also prefer the books over the movies. The movies left out soooo many details and doesn't do the books justice!
