Divergent

Beatrice has a choice. As a sixteen-year-old, she may choose what faction she will live in for the rest of her life. She can choose; Candor, the honest, Amity, the peaceful, Dauntless, the brave, Erudite, the intelligent, or her parent's faction, Abnegation, the selfless. Every minute after she makes her choice throws her world into turmoil, and she can't turn back now. She must keep a secret hidden, a secret that could destroy her, and try to be initiated into her new faction with her new friends. I loved this book, and the story is so fast-paced that I couldn't put it down. I can't wait until the next book, Insurgent, comes out.

Fallen

Luce Price is at the boarding school Sword & Cross, where they only have one phone call a week, and cameras everywhere. There's a boy, Daniel Grigori who seems familiar to her. Amazingly familiar. It's love at first sight... except he doesn't want to have anything to do with her, and seems to want to be as far away from her as possible.

This book is really intresting, and I don't want to give too much away, but this is a story of a tragic love that happends over and over, but always has had the same ending. Until now.
