Summary:
Lauren Oliver’s powerful NY Times bestselling novel Delirium-the first inside a dystopian trilogy-presents a global as terrifying as George Orwell’s 1984 and a love as true as Romeo & Juliet.
In an alternate United States, love has been declared an unhealthy disease, and the federal government forces everyone who gets to eighteen to have a procedure called the Cure. Coping with her aunt, uncle, and cousins in Portland, Maine, Lena Haloway is very much indeed looking forward to being cured and living a about Delirium safe, predictable lifestyle. She watched love destroy her mother and isn’t about to make the same mistakes.
But with ninety-five times still left until her treatment, Lena meets enigmatic Alex, a guy through the Wilds who lives under the government’s radar. Exactly what will happen if indeed they do the unthinkable and fall in like?
Delirium received starred reviews from Kirkus and School Library Journal, and was named a Ideal Book of the entire year by USA Today, Kirkus, Amazon.com, YALSA, and the Chicago Community Library and was selected as one of NPR’s Top 100 Ideal Ever Teen Novels.
