Delirium by Lauren Oliver
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Goodreads Summary:

Before scientists found the cure, people thought love was a good thing. They didn’t understand that once love -- the deliria -- blooms in your blood, there is no escaping its hold. Things are different now. Scientists are able to eradicate love, and the governments demands that all citizens receive the cure upon turning eighteen. Lena Holoway has always looked forward to the day when she’ll be cured. A life without love is a life without pain: safe, measured, predictable, and happy.

But with ninety-five days left until her treatment, Lena does the unthinkable: She falls in love.

My Review:

I was pleasantly surprised by Lauren Oliver's second novel, Delirium. A current spin on Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, the story expertly intertwines a dystopian United States, where falling in love is against the law - with a girl on the verge of having the procedure done, that will cure her forever. Or so they tell her.
