The book series –about a futuristic, dystopian world in which those entering adulthood must choose one of five factions and commit to it for life –is now celebrating its 10th anniversary, and as the films continue to air on TV and streaming services, fans across the world on social media continue to keep the Divergent world alive. Today, Veronica joins us to discuss this series and how success early on impacted her career.
