"I have always loved the Divergent series (Amity!!) But I'd never read this book and my friend @emily_d_530 gave it to me to try.
I literally loved it so much, it was really a great delve into Tobias's mind both before and during the main events in the first book. Most of the things here were alluded to but seeing them all fleshed out was another thing entirely. I also loved the cutesy scenes with FourTris from his perspective, just coz he's adorable and seeing him get so nervous over such a small but feisty girl was really great, especially knowing where it was going to end up.
The book also isn't drawn out with every scene from Divergent, frequently jumping around and actually ending right before the culmination of the original book's climax. Diving into Four's fears makes me want to re-read the original trilogy... and i prolly will 👀"

"I don't believe in guilty pleasures. The way I see it, if it makes me happy and I'm not hurting anybody, there's no cause for guilt. <br/><br/>That said, I feel like I shouldn't have enjoyed this collection of stories as much as I did. But I did! So very much! I have a soft spot for fast, fun reads, and this is one. Normally, the story we get is the story we get. If we want something more, we have to turn to fanfic. And then, it's not like we know that's what the author originally imagined. <br/><br/>But this! In this collection we get to revisit the slice of life to which we were introduced in Divergent and go behind the scenes with Four. And that's just so freaking cool! <br/><br/>Favourite thing: references without any elucidation to stuff that happened in Divergent. If you've read the book, you'll go, Oh, yeah, I remember that! If you haven't, there's no effort made to include you or catch you up on things. I love that. It feels like the continuation of a conversation between an author and her readers."
