hold on tight to your zip lines because we're taking a trip back to the world of divergent for this special throwback/nostalgia episode! in honor of nostalgic november (coined just now, by us), we’re diving into Veronica Roth's iconic dystopian debut, a novel that once had us all choosing between factions and fantasising about fear landscapes.

in this episode, we’re not just talking about the book — we’re discussing all the literary works that raised us. from tamora pierce and meg cabot to paul jennings and andy griffiths, we lay it all on the table including all of our listener suggestions.

join us as we revisit the world of dauntless, abnegation, amity, erudite, and candor and explore the highs and lows of YA dystopia, and where divergent stands in the legacy of books like the hunger games and the maze runner.
