Kurzbeschreibung

In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago, 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 to determine who her friends really are?and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes infuriating 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 a growing conflict that threatens to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves . . . or it might destroy her.

Debut author Veronica Roth bursts onto the literary scene with the first book in the Divergent series?dystopian thrillers filled with electrifying decisions, heartbreaking betrayals, stunning consequences, and unexpected romance.

Kurzbeschreibung

?One of my top 5 for 2011! I'll admit I was drawn to the cover and the premise before it was even released. But wow once I started reading I couldn't put down!? Elizabeth Reyes -Author of The Moreno Brothers Romance series

"Making the choice between what is expected and what the heart needs to survive, this wonderful young adult novel tests the bonds of friendship, the strength of family, and the desires of young love. It pulled my heart in all the right places." Tina Reber - Author of Love Unscripted

"I grew up in the Southern US, and clearly so did Abbi Glines. It's disappointingly rare for someone to nail the Southern temperament, even when they live there. The Vincent Boys proves it knows the landscape quicker than a duck on a Junebug." Tammara Webber- Author of Between the Lines series

Being the good girl isn?t all it?s cracked up to be. Ashton Gray has grown weary of playing the part to please her parents, and to be worthy of the town?s prince charming, Sawyer Vincent. Maybe That?s why she?s found herself spending time with Sawyer?s cousin, Beau, while he?s away for the summer camping with his family. Beau is nothing like her perfect boyfriend. He?s the sexiest guy she?s ever seen, dangerous in ways she?s only day dreamed about, and the one guy she should stay away from.
Beau never envied Sawyer his loving parents, his big nice home, or his position as quarterback. He loves him like a brother. Which is why he's tried everything in his power to keep his distance from Sawyer?s girlfriend. Even if he has loved her since the age of five, Ashton is Sawyer?s girl, so therefore she?s off limits. But when Sawyer leaves for the summer, Ashton, the one girl Beau would move Heaven and Earth for, decides she wants to get into trouble. Stabbing the one person who?s always accepted him and stood by him in the back, is the cost of finally holding Ashton Gray in his arms. Is she worth losing his cousin over?.... Hell Yeah.
