" 'Yeah, sometimes life really sucks,' she says. 'But you know what I'm holding on for?... The moments that don't suck... The trick is to notice them when they come around."

The compound has just found out their government has been lying to them, and the war between the factions and the fact I on less is still raging. The Allegiant have formed, making a plan to venture to the outside world and save them from the doom they face. When the group finally makes its way past the boundary between the compound and the real world, they find that their whole lives, their whole existence, have been a carefully crafted lie. They are now facing a whole new reality, and with it comes even greater problems.

This was quite an end to the trilogy. At first, it was pretty slow, but it picked up at the end, and all of the most exciting things ended up happening at pretty much the same time. I didn't like the way that this novel was different than the other two in the fact that it was told from both Tris and Four's point of view. I understand why she did that, though. The end absolutely devastated me. It was nothing like I was expecting, and nothing like I was wanting. I really don't want to spoil anything, but I was having to wipe tears from my eyes.
