teen love is a disease and only after you have the operation (cure) will you be happy

Status: Bookseller Picks

 

 

Delirium  In Lauren Oliver's world of" Delirium "love is bad.  It makes kids act impulsively , recklessly and makes them sick.  It is a disease that must be treated by having an operation at 16 (read shock therapy) to cure you forever.

After the operation you pick your future spouse and live happily ever after without those annoying butterflies in your stomach and irrational behavior- right?  Lena hopes that her upcoming procedure will go well and that the stigma of her mother's suicide will be gone forever.  Until she ventures outside her comfort zone a bit with her friend and meets Alex.  Once she feels the effects of amor deliria nervosa there is no going back.  Delirium is a clever cross between the utopian society of "Matched" and the thrill of "Hunger Games".

I don't want to be a spoiler but this story will continue and I for one can't wait.

I loved this book, it took a while to get started. But once you get past the foreshadowing of Lena's past you will enjoy the story Oliver has made to test what love can do.
