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 Haloway has always looked forward to the day when 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.
So I'm finally done and I have to say she is an amazing author, she made me cry with Lena, brush indignantly with Raven and made me understand the feeling of utter hopelessness and not getting what you signed up for. I wish the book ended differently, but I'm obliged to say that I'm still somewhat satisfied
Out of the trilogy the first is definitely may favourite, probably because we got to read so much about her and Alex.
“Are you sure that being like everybody else will make you happy?"
"I don't know any other way."
"Let me show you."
And then we're kissing. Or at least, I think we're kissing—I've only seen it done a couple of times, quick closed-mouth pecks at weddings or on formal occasions. But this isn't like anything I've ever seen, or imagined, or even dreamed: this is like music or dancing but better than both.”
“Because I think you're right. You can make a difference." He told me experiences were kind of like fate, and fate usually came in the form of a test. He told me fate liked to be worshipped. It liked to see us fall on out knees before it offered to help us up..." ♥”
“For a second I think about how easy it would be to pass back to the other side, to walk straight into the laboratories and offer myself up to the surgeons.
You were right; I was wrong. Get it out.”
“Love, the deadliest of all deadly things.
It kills you.
When you have it.
And when you don't.”
