In the future
there is no disease. There is no war. There is no discontent. All citizens are
complacent members of the Global Governance. But one summer is about to change
everything.
Keeva Tee just turned fifteen. All of her dreams are about to come true. She s
about to make the trip to Monarch Camp to be imprinted with her intended life
partner. One day they ll have perfect kids and a perfect life. But in her
happy, carefree life in the Ocean Community, something weighs on her mind. She
hears whispers about anomalies citizens who can t be imprinted. No one knows
what happens to them, but they never seem to come back.
When Keeva arrives at Monarch Camp, her worst nightmare becomes a reality she
is an anomaly. After imprinting, the people she loves change, and she starts to
doubt everything she s ever believed. What if freedom and individuality have
been sacrificed for security? And what if the man who solves all the problems
is the very man who s created them and what if he isn't a man at all?
When Keeva finds a warning carved under a bunk bed she begins to understand:
nonconformity will be punished, dissent is not an option, insurgents will be
destroyed.

DISCLAIMER: I received a copy of the audiobook as part of this tour.
This story is brilliant. Keeva is a well created character. I love how she questions the behavior of the people around her. She wants to be paired with a partner; she wants the sensation of being prepared to live a life in the GG, but . . . Despite this, Keeva has been classified as an Anomaly. Meaning she could not be paired and this separates her from the norm and will undergo trainings and teachings so that she can be paired. Her friends all of a sudden are different. Not in how they might normally behave, but there is a noticeable difference about them.
The first scene had me . . . on edge. It takes skill to cause heart palpitations in a reader. And because it was an audio, it was all the more real for me. It was vivid and nerve-wracking, but it was amazing.

Divergent fans, this is the book for you! This is not the start of a series, but personally I feel it truly depends on the book and the story. I felt that the authors concluded the story very well. I love stand-alone novels because I cannot always get the next book in the series, and this book gave me satisfaction. It was definitely much easier to hear this story told through audiobook. I think I did try to start this book last summer, but I don't know what happened. I am very happy with how this story played out. It did not feel rushed, due to being a stand-alone, nor did it feel like the authors were jamming so much into the story to make sure it every detail is told. It's perfectly proportioned.
