The first book in the breathtaking DELIRIUM trilogy. They say that the cure for love will make me happy and safe forever. And I've always believed them. Until now. Now everything has changed. Now, I'd rather be infected with love for the tiniest sliver of a second than live a hundred years suffocated by a lie. There was a time when love was the most important thing in the world. People would go to the end of the earth to find it. They would tell lies for it. Even kill for it. Then, at last, they found the cure. The story continues in PANDEMONIUM and REQUIEM. And discover Lauren Oliver's stunning first novel, BEFORE I FALL.

The premise was interesting, but it was just too mushy! Also, too much pining, not enough action. Also also, the main character was an obvious self-insert :/
I really give this book a 3.5 stars. I liked it, but didn't love it. The beginning was slow to me, but I enjoyed the book more when it picked up in the second half. I'm never a fan of romanticism of Romeo and Juliet, so I wasn't a big fan of that pat. Also was not a fan at all of the ending, although I did somewhat expect it.
Really loved the concept and idea behind this book! And the writing was beautiful and so poetic! But I think I've read too many post-apocalyptic books and could anticipate what would happen :/
For the most part, I really didn't like Lena. Not a good protagonist or role model. But she did grow throughout the book, which was a bit of a saving grace. I'm expecting more action and drama in the second book! Gonna read that now kthxbai
