Delirium (Delirium Trilogy, 1)

The first book in Lauren Oliver’s New York Times bestselling trilogy about forbidden love, revolution, and the power to choose.

In an alternate United States, love has been declared a dangerous disease, and the government forces everyone who reaches eighteen to have a procedure called the Cure. Living with her aunt, uncle, and cousins in Portland, Maine, Lena Haloway is very much looking forward to being cured and living a safe, predictable life. She watched love destroy her mother and isn't about to make the same mistake.

But with ninety-five days left until her treatment, Lena meets enigmatic Alex, a boy from the Wilds who lives under the government's radar. What will happen if they do the unthinkable and fall in love?

If I had read this when I was 15, it would have been my favorite book. Still fun, just a little overblown now for my tastes in places.

Enjoyed playing with the idea of love needing a cure and the way she tied the struggles of life to love.

More about the girl's feelings than about the dystopian.
