I don't believe in guilty pleasures. The way I see it, if it makes me happy and I'm not hurting anybody, there's no cause for guilt.
That said, I feel like I shouldn't have enjoyed this collection of stories as much as I did. But I did! So very much! I have a soft spot for fast, fun reads, and this is one. Normally, the story we get is the story we get. If we want something more, we have to turn to fanfic. And then, it's not like we know that's what the author originally imagined.
But this! In this collection we get to revisit the slice of life to which we were introduced in Divergent and go behind the scenes with Four. And that's just so freaking cool!
Favourite thing: references without any elucidation to stuff that happened in Divergent. If you've read the book, you'll go, Oh, yeah, I remember that! If you haven't, there's no effort made to include you or catch you up on things. I love that. It feels like the continuation of a conversation between an author and her readers.
