This book was amazing. So glad I decided to re-read it for the second or third time :D The one thing that shocked me was that (view spoiler) Glad it wasn't though, and that it was a gradual thing.
Why's there always that girl that's been created for readers to hate *cough cough* Celeste. She just annoys me no end. So selfish. And the way she (view spoiler) ...more

Leer este libro fue una de las peores decisiones que he tomado. Culpo a la hermosa portada por hacerme querer leerlo. Es hermosa, la portada es una de las más lindas que he visto. Pero el libro es pura basura. No quiero comenzar escribiendo puros comentarios negativos, porque sé lo mucho que duele leer una reseña negativa de tu libro favorito. Pero no pienso morderme la lengua y callar todo lo que tengo que decir acerca de él.

Este libro me sorprendió satisfactoriamente,tenia la curiosidad de leerlo hace un tiempo pero me deje llevar por los malos comentarios y por eso no lo leí, pero al final me convencieron y decidí darle una oportunidad.

This book was interesting. Not sure what I think about America. I do like Marlee, Aspen, and Maxon. I'm not a fan of Celeste though. I'm curious to know what the rebels want.

3.5 stars.
"What do you think my chances might be of finding a soul mate in the group of you? I'll be lucky if I can just find someone who'll be able to stand me for the rest of our lives. What if I've already sent her home because I was relying on some sort of spark I didn't feel? What if she's waiting to leave me at the first sign of adversity? What if I don't find anyone at all? What do I do then, America?"
Shit, summaries in book reviews are the hardest part. Cause it's like, I can't b ...more
