Divergent... cartea aceasta a avut un impact puternic asupra mea. Mi s-a parut atat de adevarata si m-a facut sa ma gandesc de doua ori inainte de a actiona.

1) Enclave - Ann Aguirre
In Deuce’s world, people earn the right to a name only if they survive their first fifteen years. By that point, each unnamed ‘brat’ has trained into one of three groups–Breeders, Builders, or Hunters, identifiable by the number of scars they bear on their arms. Deuce has wanted to be a Huntress for as long as she can remember.
As a Huntress, her purpose is clear—to brave the dangerous tunnels outside the enclave and bring back meat to feed the group while evading ferocious monsters known as Freaks. She’s worked toward this goal her whole life, and nothing’s going to stop her, not even a beautiful, brooding Hunter named Fade. When the mysterious boy becomes her partner, Deuce’s troubles are just beginning.
Down below, deviation from the rules is punished swiftly and harshly, and Fade doesn’t like following orders. At first Deuce thinks he’s crazy, but as death stalks their sanctuary, and it becomes clear the elders don’t always know best, Deuce wonders if Fade might be telling the truth. Her partner confuses her; she’s never known a boy like him before, as prone to touching her gently as using his knives with feral grace.
As Deuce’s perception shifts, so does the balance in the constant battle for survival. The mindless Freaks, once considered a threat only due to their sheer numbers, show signs of cunning and strategy… but the elders refuse to heed any warnings. Despite imminent disaster, the enclave puts their faith in strictures and sacrifice instead. No matter how she tries, Deuce cannot stem the dark tide that carries her far from the only world she’s ever known.
2) Birthmarked - Caragh M. O'Brien
After climate change, on the north shore of Unlake
Superior, a dystopian world is divided between those who live inside the wall,
and those, like sixteen-year-old midwife Gaia Stone, who live outside. It’s
Gaia’s job to “advance” a quota of infants from poverty into the walled
Enclave, until the night one agonized mother objects, and Gaia’s parents
disappear.
As Gaia’s efforts to save her parents take her within the wall, she faces the brutal injustice of the Enclave and discovers she alone holds the key to a secret code, a code of “birthmarked” babies and genetic merit.
Fraught with difficult moral choices and rich with intricate layers of codes, Birthmarked explores a colorful, cruel, eerily familiar world where a criminal is defined by her genes, and one girl can make all the difference.

3) Inside Out - Maria V. Snyder
I'm Trella. I'm a scrub.
A nobody. One of thousands who work the lower levels, keeping Inside clean for
the Uppers. I've got one friend, do my job and try to avoid the Pop Cops. So
what if I occasionally use the pipes to sneak around the Upper levels? The only

go-to girl to lead a revolution.
4) Wither - Lauren DeStefano
By age sixteen, Rhine Ellery has four years
left to live. She can thank modern science for this genetic time bomb. A
botched effort to create a perfect race has left all males with a lifespan of
25 years, and females with a lifespan of 20 years. Geneticists are seeking a
miracle antidote to restore the human race, desperate orphans crowd the
population, crime and poverty have skyrocketed, and young girls are being
kidnapped and sold as polygamous brides to bear more children. When Rhine is
kidnapped and sold as a bride, she vows to do all she can to escape.
Her
husband, Linden, is hopelessly in love with her, and Rhine can’t bring herself
to hate him as much as she’d like to. He opens her to a magical world of wealth
and illusion she never thought existed, and it almost makes it possible to
ignore the clock ticking away her short life. But Rhine quickly learns that not
everything in her new husband’s strange world is what it seems. Her
father-in-law, an eccentric doctor bent on finding the antidote, is hoarding
corpses in the basement. Her fellow sister wives are to be trusted one day and
feared the next, and Rhine is desperate to communicate to her twin brother that
she is safe and alive. Will Rhine be able to escape--before her time runs out?
Together with one of Linden's servants, Gabriel, Rhine attempts to escape just before her seventeenth birthday. But in a world that continues to spiral into anarchy, is there any hope for freedom?

6) The Maze Runner - James Dashner
When
Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his first name.
His memory is blank. But he’s not alone. When the lift’s doors open, Thomas
finds himself surrounded by kids who welcome him to the Glade—a large, open
expanse surrounded by stone walls.
Just like Thomas, the Gladers don’t know why or how they got to the Glade. All they know is that every morning the stone doors to the maze that surrounds them have opened. Every night they’ve closed tight. And every thirty days a new boy has been delivered in the lift.
Thomas was expected. But the next day, a girl is sent up—the first girl to ever arrive in the Glade. And more surprising yet is the message she delivers.
Thomas might be more important than he could ever guess. If only he could unlock the dark secrets buried within his mind.

8) The Sky Is Everywhere - Jandy Nelson
Seventeen-year-old Lennie Walker, bookworm
and band geek, plays second clarinet and spends her time tucked safely and
happily in the shadow of her fiery older sister, Bailey. But when Bailey dies
abruptly, Lennie is catapulted to center stage of her own life - and, despite
her nonexistent history with boys, suddenly finds herself struggling to balance
two. Toby was Bailey's boyfriend; his grief mirrors Lennie's own. Joe is the
new boy in town, a transplant from Paris whose nearly magical grin is matched only
by his musical talent. For Lennie, they're the sun and the moon; one boy takes
her out of her sorrow, the other comforts her in it. But just like their
celestial counterparts, they can't collide without the whole wide world
exploding.
This remarkable debut is perfect for fans of Sarah Dessen, Deb Caletti, and Francesca Lia Block. Just as much a celebration of love as it is a portrait of loss, Lennie's struggle to sort her own melody out of the noise around her is always honest, often hilarious, and ultimately unforgettable.

9) Abandon - Meg Cabot
Though
she tries returning to the life she knew before the accident, Pierce can't help
but feel at once a part of this world, and apart from it. Yet she's never alone
. . . because someone is always watching her. Escape from the realm of the dead
is impossible when someone there wants you back.
But now
she's moved to a new town. Maybe at her new school, she can start fresh. Maybe she
can stop feeling so afraid.
Only
she can't. Because even here, he finds her. That's how desperately he wants her
back. She knows he's no guardian angel, and his dark world isn't exactly
heaven, yet she can't stay away . . . especially since he always appears when
she least expects it, but exactly when she needs him most.
But if
she lets herself fall any further, she may just find herself back in the one
place she most fears: the Underworld.
10) Delirium - Lauren Oliver
They say
that the cure for Love will make me happy and safe forever.
And I've always believed them.
Until now.
Now everything has changed.
Now, I'd rather be infected with love for the tiniest sliver of a second than live a hundred years smothered by a lie.
Lena looks forward to receiving the government-mandated cure that prevents the delirium of love and leads to a safe, predictable, and happy life, until ninety-five days before her eighteenth birthday and her treatment, when she falls in love.
