Delirium / Lauren Oliver / 307 pages

Amor Deliria Nervosa - love - is considered to be a disease for which a procedure is prescribed at age 18.  The procedure is mandatory.  "In the old days, love drove people to madness".  Lena looks forward to receiving the government mandated cure that prevents the delirium of love, and lead to a safe, predictable, and happy life, until 90 days before her 18th birthday and her treatment, when she falls in love with Alex, and discovers that almost all of her life has been lies.

This book was a bit slow in the middle, but hard-to-put-down near the end.  Is there a sequel on the horizon?
