I'm alive! Thank you all for being so patient with me during exam season, I really appreciate it. But I'm back now with another review.
Delirium, is about Portland in America. Portland had been bordered off from the rest of America and everyone in Portland is 'cured' from Deliria Amour Nervosa - more commonly known as 'love'. In this fantastic world that Lauren Oliver has created, Love is a disease, something to be feared, something to be caught.
This story is not predictable at all. When you hear the storyline you automatically think 'oh she's going to find love, and then they're going to run away together' but I assure you, things aren't all as they would seem. For me, that is what made this an amazing story.
It was just what I needed, it was contemporary yet dystopian and it was an ideal mix of the two. The description of the town and the people was so beautifully written, it allowed me to picture it so vividly in my head.
I would really reccomend this to anyone looking for a new series to get into, or if you want a romance book that not 'full on romance'.
Overall, I give this book 5 stars, I absolutley loved it.
***SPOILERS***
I am in love with Alex and Lena, honestly.
When Hana started going to the parties and listening to the banned music I thought that she would be the one to turn rogue and run off to the wilds.
The first twist, with finding out Alex wasn't cured. Oh. My. God. That's the moment when I realised that things weren't what they seemed. Then I realised that slowly, Lena was falling in love.
I could also just feel the love that Lena's mum had for her.
The raid was also shocking for two reasons. The kiss and the dog bite. When the dog had bitten her I was so certain that she ws going to the Crypts and stying there, but the way Alex saved her made me want to just have them together, forever.
Also, at the end, when Alex and Lena discovered the cell that Lena's mum had been in (BECAUSE SHE WAS ALIVE THE WHOLE TIME) that was great. It gave me hope that she's out there and that Lena would find her.
I'm so excited to read the next one
