What if love was outlawed? What if everyone had an operation at 18 that made them unable to experience love or any real emotion? Would that finally stop conflict or even wars? In Lean's world everyone is "cured" of love at 18. Lena is looking forward to her "cure." In 95 days, she will never have to worry about being driven mad by love. But like all plans, hers are altered when she meets Alex, and falls in love. Now, if she is cured she will feel dead, but if she tries to escape with him into the "Wilds" she might really be killed. Delirium is a fast-paced read that makes us question what it means to love. It is the first in a fantastic trilogy.
