"My favorite book series from Lauren Oliver . Was a great read"
Alannah Rodriquez
"Suspenseful, full of emotion and humor. The only complaints I have is that it seems too much like Matched and the cliffhanger was brutal."

"I've been going through the dystopian novels I didn't get around to in my youth and this one is not great. The world and its rules are incredibly inconsistent. The concept of adults having their ability to love removed was interesting but pretty underdeveloped. It didn't seem to affect their ability to raise normal children or experience any other emotion. The book was honestly so boring I listened to is at x3 speed and it still dragged. Our lead Lena did act like a teenager at least."

"This is one of the YA novels I was recommended to me, and I definitely don't regret reading it!"

"I loved this book so much! After I finished I could not stop talking about it! If you like dystopian I would recommend! It was an easier read but I think that you can still really go into depth about it! At least I did. "

"I really liked this book - it was cute, a little obvious at times but still kept me guessing what was going to happen. I liked the idea of the book and thought it flowed well and had a good storyline. The ending left me needing to pick up the second book!!"

"Love this book a lot, really don’t know how to put it into words, so good, love the concept of love being a disease. Reading pandemonium now!"

"@jamiyah_langevine Ok so… the government is corrupt and has declared love an actual disease that causes wars and stuff so the government made you get this surgery when you turn 18 to make it so you couldn’t love anymore and if you were caught like kissing someone or smt you would be shot or dragged away to get surgery. This girl named Lina is ready to get this surgery but then she falls in love 🫢 and then things get crazy"

"This is a massive yes for me ! I loved every bit of it, the character being challenged to face everything she believes in, everything she’s ever known. I thought it was beautifully presented and I cannot wait to read the rest of this series ! "
