Lauren Oliver - Delirium

If there would be a cure for love, would you take it?

Amor Delirium Nervosa A.K.A. love is (declared as) a dangerous disease. Without love, there is no hate. Without hate, there is no violence. People at the age of eighteen undergo a procedure to eliminate (that emotion) love from their life. They are unable to feel love again and, from that point on, supposedly leave a happy and healthy life.

Lena Holoway is just ninety-five days away from being cured, and she is looking forward to it. But then some unexpected things happen and change everything.

“He who leaps for the sky may fall, it's true. But he may also fly.”
