Delirium by Lauren Oliver

      About the book: Before scientists found the cure, people thought love was a good thing. They didn't understand that once love--the deliria--blooms in your blood, there is no escaping its hold. Things are different now. Scientists are able to eradicate love, and the government demands that all citizens receive the cure upon turning eighteen. Lena Holoway has always looked forward to the day she'll be cured. A life without love is a life without pain: safe, measured, predictable, and happy.
      But with ninety-five days left until her treatment, Lena does the unthinkable: She falls in love.

      My thoughts and opinion: I seem to be in a phase where I read any book and cry. Or I'm in a phase where I am discovering brilliant books that make me cry.
      Anyway, this was one of the best books I have ever read. I loved Hana; she was like the cool best friend that I have right now! So rebellious! Hahaha. And Lena, I felt like I could be her twin or something.
      Well not that running part. I suck at running. But I usually want safety and stability in my life.
      And then I also want things so bad, but maybe not so bad as to run away with a guy.
      OH and Alex. I don't even know WHAT to say about him. He really is a brave and courageous guy at the end of the book. If only they succeeded in running away together...Alex + Lena = FOREVER!
      Obviously, I love all the characters in the book, but I also love how the story is set. It kind of reminds me of the Hunger Games. That strict government with rules and guards and everyone is labeled and tagged like farm animals. And how there are outsiders, free and wild. The Invalids.
      Which means I really HATE their government. I mean, the Raids are the cruelest thing and they're supposed to be for the good of the people, the citizens? Yet people get beaten and injured.
      This book was great and delicious! Somehow, I don't want to read the sequel of Delirium. This book was already wonderful without one, but I don't know. Maybe I'll find time to read the sequel.
