Insurgent

Spoilers! (This is a book discussion more than a book review.) I really liked insurgent. I love trilogies, I love seeing the characters grow. 
Tris is struggling with the fact that she killed Will, and who can blame her? She shot one of her best friends! I would struggle with that guilt for the rest of my life. I know a lot of people say she just needs to get over it, I disagree. That would make her less realistic. Life hurts sometimes. 
I want some bread from Amity. That's all I have to say about that. :)
I feel for Tobias. His parental situation is hard. I can understand. When your parent leaves you it hurts. You want to forgive them, you want to love them, you want to tell yourself it will all be ok. But they left you. And it's not easily forgiven. You don't want to be hurt again. It's hard to trust. I didn't trust her. 
I felt relieved when Tris told Christina and Tobias that she shot Will. It's so much easier to deal with emotions when close ones are there for you. 
Marlene! Uriah! :.....(
Jeanine. Oh boy oh boy. I hate her even more in this book and ... I can't hold back any longer... Caleb! What the heck, Caleb?! I trusted you!
Peter, thank you for saving Tris. I did not see that coming, ok kind of, but not really. I figured somehow she'd be saved but I didn't expect it to be by Peter.
The fight against herself was intriguing to me. We all fight ourselves on a daily basis. I love how that played into the book. Which part of ourself do we choose to win? 
Evelyn is the enemy at the end of insurgent. It makes me sad that Tobias can't count on his parents. 
I love that it ended with the video clip. I admit that as soon as I finished  insurgent, I picked up Allegiant. I really wanted to know more, to see what they found out and how they handled it all. And I'm glad I did.
