This book is part of a trilogy written by Lauren Oliver. The story takes place in the United States years into the future, where love is now considered a disease and the root of all bad things in the world. At the age of 18 everyone receives 'the cure" which prevents them from falling in love.
Lena that main character has anxiously waited for the day she would be 'cured'. As she approaches her 18th birthday though she ends up falling in love and questioning the beliefs of her government, friends and families.
The concept of this book was really interesting to me because it is easy to see how something as pure as love can cause so much pain and suffering. Would the world be better off without it?
This is an easy read and I got through the entire book in a day. Definitely thought provoking and interesting.
