    13:33 four is the fourth book and it’s all four’s pov. There are different stories in it, like when he was still in abnegation with his father and chose dauntless as his new faction (this is all off the top of my head), when he’s actually training in dauntless, and there are scenes from when he meets tris and she’s training and stuff. This book genuinely had a chokehold on me because four was my BIGGEST book crush ever and Theo James who plays him in the films is 🥵

    I didn't know Barnes existed until about 4-5 years ago. I grew up thinking that the library was the only place to get books. Then as an adult, I was incredibly lost trying to figure out where people got books bc I didn't have a library near me with many option. It's insane to think of this now but I genuinely had no idea lol

    The Fault In Our Stars will always be elite. I was obsessed with that book & movie. Been wanting to reread as well. And Divergent omg! Completely obsessed with those books too. The movies after the first one don’t exist in my mind lol. Also went through a hardcore Maze Runner phase. Don’t mind me, just walking down nostalgia lane

    28:15 STOPPP seeing you with this book is giving me flashbacks. I read this, 3 years ago in seventh grade because I was just chilling bored in my lang & lit class, while sitting next to the bookshelf and something js told me why don't I try reading. At that time the last time I read a book was Little Women for a school project and even though I enjoyed it after all it had taken me months to read. I started If I Stay in my 5th period and by 6th period I was soo invested and capulated by the book. I finished it a day or so later and loved it.
    A week or so later I wanted to try reading and told my sister to order a book for me. LitterallyI just searched up popular books and went on tiktok and It Ends With Us came up repeatedly, so my sister ordered that book for me. The rest really is history. Reading If I Stay and It Ends With Us changed my life forever and I am forever thankful.
    There really wouldn't have been my love for reading if there hadn't been If I Stay!

    Feel kinda ancient, ngl, I was in college when The Fault On Our Stars and Divergent came out 😂 but I loved them both. Especially Divergent. I’ve reread that series several times now and the first of the movies is pretty much my comfort movie (didn’t love the rest of them though unfortunately.) Reading them was an extra treat since I didn’t know about the books until I went and saw the first movie with a friend, so reading the books and being able to picture Theo James (😍😍😍) and all the other actors as the characters made it super enjoyable for me. And I think you’re right, the fourth book, Four, came out later. It was a series of short stories that she fleshed out from the first few chapters when she was initially writing Divergent from Four’s perspective. But then even though she switched to Tris being the main character, people were still really interested in Four as a character, so she went back and turned those chapters into their own stories that pretty much covered the time of Four’s childhood up until where Divergent starts. From what I remember reading anyway, I haven’t gone back and reread that one for some reason, so it’s been a while

    I’m a teacher and level 4 usually means about a 4th grade reading level! And the “level p” refers to basically the same thing (kids usually begin at level A in kindergarten and then it goes through the alphabet level P rests between third and fourth grade on average but of course we have readers at all levels and ages!)

    14:47 thats so true! Esp for my age its def so different now with the whole goodreads and everything. I remember being a teen or kid and you would most likely read a book after the movie or tv show came out. Im thinking about it cause I am from the gossip girl era. And I read every single book before watching the tv show and now i think about how there’s now Magnolia Parks (which people say is like Gossip Girl in this generation).I wonder if it will be adapted into a tv show..
