Veronica Roth

Veronica Roth
I love Tris the Divergent, who makes decisions apart from faction loyalty, who isn’t some faction archetype. But the Tris who’s trying as hard as she can to destroy herself … I can’t love her.

Veronica Roth
I try to leave some space in my mind for things to surprise me or change my mind, I think that's important.
