No matter how much I like to deny it or how much I like to think that I don't judge books by their covers, here's the truth: I totally do. Why do you think my bookshelf looks so pretty or that I tend to gravitate towards the cover with the most swoon-worthy spine? But some of the most swoon-worthy books have covers that are pretty misleading. Check it out below!

1. "Divergent" by Veronica Roth

Looks like: The only thing that I say for sure is that it takes place in Chicago. For the most part, it looks pretty desolate in the city so I'm going to say that it takes place in the future. The funky fireball makes me think that it's another one of those books where kids have superpowers.

Actually is about: In this dystopian novel, five factions represent the virtues (Intelligence, Kindness, Bravery, Honesty, Selflessness) and every year every 16 year old must choose what faction they belong to. Usually, you fit into one category or the other but anomaly Beatrice Prior, a small mousy girl from the selfless faction, fits into three categories, thus making her Divergent.

2. "The Darkest Minds" by Alexandra Bracken

Looks Like: It's about the Nazi regime (hence the barbed wire and the title).

Actually is about: There was a mysterious disease that killed off many of America's children but what emerged in the aftermath was much worse: the remaining children developed abilities they couldn't control. Ruby is 16 years old and has been living in one of the worst rehabilitation camps in the country for six years because she possesses these abilities. She escapes the camp when the truth about her abilities comes out and finds solace in a group of kids she finds traveling to a place called East River. In summary: If you haven't read this book, do it.

3. "The Maze Runner" by James Dashner

Looks like: All I know is that Dylan O'Brien plays the lead in the movie.

Actually is about: Thomas (AKA Dylan O'Brien) wakes up with no memories and no recollection of who he is. Other boys that live in the limited open space inform him that this is the Glade and outside the Glade is an endless maze. The only way out of the Glade is through the maze, but no one who has gone in has ever survived.

4. "Big Little Lies" by Liane Moriarty

Looks like: Other than the title being a lame oxymoron, it looks like the lollipop is supposed to be a metaphor for how the main character's life is shattered by a lie. Or someone owns a candy shop.

Actually is about: Three mothers who find themselves and each other in the midst of dealing with ex-husbands and school politics.

5. "City of Bones" by Cassandra Clare

Looks Like: Guy with weird markings rules over the city, maybe with the things called mortal instruments.

Actually is about: A team of shadowhunters, who try to rid the city of New York of demons, fights alongside newcomer, Clary Fray, whose mother was kidnapped by demons.

6. "Fifty Shades" of Grey by E.L. James

Looks like: A guy who has a lot of ties that are different shades of grey. He can't decide which one he wants to wear.

Actually is about: ... not about ties, that's for sure.

7. "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins

Looks like: People are hungry and are going to track down a certain type of bird that they can eat.

Actually is: Twenty-four kids fight to the death in an arena...not over birds...

So while these book's covers may be slightly misleading, they were best-sellers for a reason ("Fifty Shades of Grey" for slightly different reason). So next time when you pop into Barnes and Noble looking for your next great read, read the synopsis first.
