OK,,, now when I started this book, I didn't realize that it would be part of a series, and am figuring, after reading the end, that this story HAS to continue on. This dystopian story centers around Lena who lives in Maine somewhere in the (near?) future in a world where love or amor deliria nervosa is a disease that humans have finally found the "cure" for. While the cure removes the ability to love, it also removes the ability to really feel deep emotions. Lena is months away from her cure and is looking forward to it! Until she meets Alex... 
 This book was slow going at first, involved in the monotony of Lena's life in Maine. It reminded me of other dystopian books, like Matched at first. It was not until probably almost half way through that it picked up and got really interesting and exciting. This fact was the reason why I could not give this book 4 stars, but 3 instead. I think that oliver could have cut out some of the day to day with Lena and her best friend Hana, and gotten to the action a bit quicker. 
 The end of the book was fantastic, and heart wrenching. I am kind of annoyed that I have to wait for the follow up now, and I am dying to find out what happens with Lena and Alex!
