I must admit, I had a little trouble believing that our society, a world obsessed with love - heck, we have reality television shows like The Bachelor - would somehow be convinced that love was a disease, but Oliver writes with enough beauty and power for me to suspend belief. Maybe that's why this worked. Because I didn't believe we'd ever want this sort of cure, it made the stakes that much higher, and had me rooting for Lena from the second she falls for Alex.
