Synopsis From Goodreads:

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? 

My Review:

Rating:

I loved this book!!

This book tells the greatest love story of them all!! Even though Lena is unsure and Alex isn't "cured" they still find themselves falling in love with one another. 

"The deadliest of all things: it kills you both when you have it and when you don't."

This is one of the greatest quotes out of the entire book. It shows that Delirium supposedly kills you even though we all know it's a mental illness, that affects your mental abilities. However, in reality it doesn't kill you in any way, making it a great symbol for the book. 

I have a feeling this author is becoming a new favorite of mine and I look forward to reading the rest of the series. I can't wait to see what the future has in story for these two remarkable characters.

I highly recommend this book, it is beautifully written and this dystopian world is remarkable crafted. You feel a though your living through it with the characters themselves. If you have yet to read this book, I highly recommend finding time to read it. It is definitely worth the time!!
