What is no one had the advantage for being extra pretty? What if no one had the disadvantage of being ugly? Jobs, elected offices, friends, everything was based on the person themselves, and not the way they looked? It seems great on the surface...everyone has cosmetic surgery on their 16th birthday, and everybody looks basically the same. But everything is different about that person. Would it be worth it?
Tally is nearing her sixteenth birthday, and cannot wait for her surgery so she can finally be pretty. But her alliance with the rebelious Shay may cost her in a big way. Can she break the promise she made to her friend...can she give up her 'pretty' life for that promise.
Loved this book! (Seemed like Delirium was pretty close to this?)

This is definitely maybe gonna be one of my favorite books of the year...maybe second since I hear the second, Insurgent, is even better.

In a world falling apart, the people are arguing over what is destroying the world. According to each individual's beliefs, the people join the faction of their choosing. There are factions for the selfless, the intelligent, the peaceful, the honest, and the brave. Each faction lives basically to themselves, until a child's 16th birthday, when they are tested to see which faction they are best suited for. But they may choose to go their own path. Beatrice blows away the simulation tests, showing an aptitude for three different factions, making her a Divergent, which is unheard of. And which puts her in danger, although no one will talk with her about it to tell her why. Abandoning her life among the Abnegation, Beatrice, becoming Tris, joins the brave, the Dauntless. Her life completely turns itself upside down for her to pursue the side of herself that she has kept in check for so long.

Storyline was interesting enough. About a group of people who have genetically engineered their people to be blind, in order to be more focused on what is important. I didn't find it interesting enough to look at the sequel.

Rip Tide by Kat Falls, sequel to Dark Life

Pretty good book. I don't like to talk too much about sequels, but the pacing was fast, the character development was down in a quick, concise way. Framed in the bottom of the ocean, with lots of great scifi details. Loved it.
