As an avid reader of novels I've found myself persistently let down with YA novels and I thought the same of Divergent before I had even read it. I got a sample and downloaded the book and finished it in under ten hours. Couldn't put it down. Very good YA novel and an interesting twist on a dystopia. Don't think I will be judging a book by its cover any time soon again

A great YA fictional book that hits you in the feels over and over. Very well written and is one of those books you can read cover to cover. Even if that means no sleep. Every book I have read from John Green has been fantastic!

* I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review*
This was a great YA read, however I did have a couple of things I didn't like about it. It started off slow, and the teens were a little unrealistic at times.
Other than that the book was great. Things quickly took an unexpected turn making it impossible to put the book down. I also really liked that this book didn't focus on romance. The YA genre usually throws unnecessary teen romance around everywhere, so it was nice to read a book where the characters had other things going on.
I will warn future readers that this book does end in a cliff. I was still satisfied with the ending, but I'm definitely going to pick up the next book as soon as possible.

school shooting in Ya
Honestly if your going to read a YA book involving a school shooting read Hate List by Jennifer Brown.

 I didn't connect with Sam and there was a lot of things both schools did after the event that just wouldn't happen school have certain rules with dealing with event and i just couldn't get into this book. I do applaude anyone who takes on such a difficult subject matter however more people should be willing to try writing about the difficult things in life to help people try to understand.

A great teen novel!
Really good start to the "More Than" series, a great easy to read YA novel


I have recently re-read this book in an attempt to get my reading mojo back! I finished the book in a day and enjoyed it almost as much as I did the first time round.


A great easy to read book :)
