Delirium

Lena is excited about the "Cure". She lives in a society where love is banned, everything is planned out, including the person you will marry based on a test that you take. They call the disease deliria if you feel love at all. The "Cure" is the solution to deliria. Once you get it which is usually after you graduate high school, the deliria will go away and you pretend for the rest of your life. Lena is excited because she has no real connections with people. Her mom committed suicide and her father was murdered by the regulators. The regulators are the people in the government who kill the people who can't be cured. But then Lena meets Alex. He stirs something inside her and they start an amazing romance. But the romance can't last because her aunt wants her to hang out with her guy match for marriage after she receives the "Cure". Alex and Lena fall in love. She also finds out her mom was alive the whole time. After learning this she plans to run away with Alex to the Wilds. The Wilds are the forest/jungle past Portland where they can live in peace without the regulators butting in. But they get caught before they can make the escape. She makes it over the fence but Alex doesn't.
    I liked this book a lot because the main character reminds me of myself. Also a combination of Divergent and The Giver. This book is part of a trilogy and I am really excited for the sequel. It also reminded me of my 1st love. The obsession, the romance!!!
