PTS 17.0

          Tris goes on another adventure, this time she and Tobias go past the limits and discover all the secrets of their Dystopian world! Their relationship twists and turns as they fight, discover new information, reach new points, have differing opinions, and learn more about themselves. Their love and loyalty is tested as they try to recover from discovering that their entire life was based on a lie. This book is narrated by Tris and Tobias, the perspective changes every few chapters. This is the third and final book in the Divergent Trilogy.
