Junebook 9: Delirium by Lauren Oliver

I know, I know. It's a lot of dystopian novels. But this is the last one. For now...

In this world, the cause to all the chaos, war, poverty and basically all human problems has been determined: amor deliria nervosa. Or in other words...LOVE. And a vaccine has been developed to make people stop feeling love.

The author has done a great job explaining why this is plausible, but of course there are always drawbacks. The main character, Lena, doesn't take the cure and tries to escape the life that was planned for her.

This trilogy, including Pandemonium and Requiem, follow her story to try and bring down the system. And fall in love while doing it.
