Divergent
This is a really good read...if your into the whole future America in shambles, people rebelling, lots of blood kind of thing. Think The Hunger Games. It's almost exactly like that, except there's no government in control, just different factions fighting amongst themselves. There are five different factions after wars nearly destroyed the world. One faction blames the lack of knowledge for the war, another blames cowardliness, one blames selfishness, yet another says it's because people lied so much, and one just blames hatred. The main character, Beatrice, who is from Abegnation, the faction the blames selfishness, switches to Dauntless, the faction the blames cowardliness, when she reaches the age of 16 and is able to choose what faction she wants to be in. The only issue is, she's Divergent, which means according to her aptitude tests she takes to see which faction she would fit in with the best, she could have been equally happy in three different factions. That doesn't sound so bad, except when one faction suddenly makes a move to wipe out another and become the rulers over all of the factions, Beatrice (or Tris, as she likes to be called) is the only one that isn't affected by their mind control. Which means that she's the only one who can save all of the factions. But she has to sacrifice something to do that...
