Delirium by Lauren Oliver
4.0

I liked this book, the attention Lauren Oliver gave to each character, and what she tried to bring awareness to. I wanted to read this for a really long time, because the premise was really interesting.

As I read it, I was getting so annoyed with Lena and her straight as a square way of looking at life. Especially with Hana on her side saying radical things. However, the way the story progresses wasn’t exactly how I imagined it. And the end was definitely a tragedy.

I wanted Lena to discover the wilds through the people who inhabit them. A large reason why there’s a stigma around it is because of the people and they’re described at “ravenous, and crazy”. However, never meets another invalid. I just think that could be an important part for the development of the world and character.
