i can’t wait to continue reading their story in INSURGENT! is it may yet?

but i’m totally going to think “port to port” now when i’m walking down the sidewalk. there’s something very cool about pretending i’m a ship. (that made more sense in my head.)

The romance really struck a chord for me in it didn’t involve two girls jonesing for one guy or vice versa. The romance seemed natural when everything else in their world was so NOT.

As you said, I loved the ending just the way it was and am really looking forward to the next installment.

I hadn’t laughed that hard in forever :)

Our characters should experience the same thing from time to time, yes? It’s one more thing that can add dimension.
