Delirium

Delirium (by Lauren Oliver) is the book that Alina had recommended in our first few days together.  I'm about 1/3 into it, and it is fabulous.  If you've ever read The Handmaid's Tale or Matched, it is sort of like a combination of those two.  Love is considered a disease, and everyone gets "cured" when they are 18.  It's an interesting way of looking at love, but also at the way of how we deal with the chaos life brings us.

  1. I really think love is a disease lol especially with teens because we get so caught up in it we don't realize what it's doing to the people around us
