Love, choice, and control in a dystopian America

In Lauren Oliver’s alternate United States, the government treats love as a disease and mandates a procedure at eighteen. Lena Haloway expects the Cure to offer safety, shaped by what she witnessed in her mother’s life. With her treatment approaching, an encounter with Alex, who lives beyond the government’s reach, brings her expectations into question. The setup connects a young person’s choice about love with a larger system of social control, giving the novel’s dystopian premise a personal and political dimension. It is the opening volume of a trilogy.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in dystopian fiction.
  • Readers drawn to stories about forbidden love and personal choice.
  • Readers interested in fictional societies where governments regulate private life.

Book overview

The first book in Lauren Oliver's New York Times bestselling trilogy about forbidden love, revolution, and the power to choose.

In an alternate United States, love has been declared a dangerous disease, and the government forces everyone who reaches eighteen to have a procedure called the Cure. Living with her aunt, uncle, and cousins in Portland, Maine, Lena Haloway is very much looking forward to being cured and living a safe, predictable life. She watched love destroy her mother and isn't about to make the same mistake.

But with ninety-five days left until her treatment, Lena meets enigmatic Alex, a boy from the Wilds who lives under the government's radar. What will happen if they do the unthinkable and fall in love?
