If you like Divergent...

Another young adult series that has wildly gained success, Veronica Roth's Divergent series is an action packed dystopian tale that takes place in post-apocalyptic Chicago. The population is divided into five factions based on a dedicated virtue. Beatrice - or Tris - discovers she doesn't quite fit into the molds this new society has developed, and her divergence is seen as a threat.

If you've read and loved the Divergent series, you should definitely check out some of these titles:
