~ Delirium by Lauren Oliver ~
Summary: 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 mistakes.
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 Thoughts: I really loved this book! I captured me from the first page and told such an interesting story. Lena was very likable and relatable, though a bit melodramatic sometimes. :D But I definitely plan on reading the next two books in the series.
Age Range: 13+
Rating: 5 stars!
Speaking of books, I am going to the library tomorrow with quite an On Hold list! I can't wait to dive into...
Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell
Out of the Easy by Ruta Sepetys
The Elephant's Tale by Lauren St. John
Like the Willow Tree: The Diary of Lydia Amelia Pierce by Lois Lowry
The Diamond of Drury Lane by Julia Golding
...and many more! :) Libraries are just the best, and now the only place I can get books besides online ever since my town's next to last book store closed. :( Sigh. I fear someday all book stores will be extinct and only Amazon will be left. It drives me crazy.
Anyhoo, have any of you been watching the Olympics at all this past week or two? I have - I love the Olympics! My favorite winter sports would have to be figure skating (it's so beautiful), ski jumping (it's so cool!), speed skating, and snow boarding (Shaun White). :)
Have a great day!
