Delirium



With the trend of dystopian YA fiction, I wasn't surprised that how easily I was captured into Delirium.  I fell in love with the snippets of 'rules' beginning each chapter...a poetry between religiousity and governmental regulations, deemed to keep us safe.
Safe from the each other.
Safe from ourselves.
Safe from love.
The biggest killer of them all.

Lena is set to have her procedure, so she can be 'cured' in 95 days, safely dreaming of never falling in love.  Unlike her mother, who had the procedure 4 times and continually loved with her entire being.   Loved so deeply, that it killed her.  Lena wants nothing of the sort.

But then she meets Alex. Alex opens her world up to new possibilities, new truths--leading her to wonder what is truly reality.  Lena will have many struggles and action to figure out if love is worth living or dying for.
