I also found that it was silly for the first boy she ever meets that’s not part of her family is what we now have to call “the love of her life.” I felt very distrusting of Alex until he left himself die for her which was odd considering this is only the first book of three and if he’s going to die I would at least hope that they would discover that he was actually planning something sinister or wasn’t all that he seemed otherwise he’s just dead?Graphic: Pandemic/Epidemic

It was a great cliffhanger but I’m not sure I want to read the next two books anyway which makes it kind of blandReminds me a lot of The Declaration.

The story is not bad: a world where love is a disease and there is a medical procedure to cure it. People who fall in love are sick. Easy as that. Now, there is a bunch of plot holes to this narrative - if the medical procedure cures you from love, we are talking about ALL THE LOVE romantic and non-romantic. Right? Am i missing something here? Maybe there is something here that I'm not getting. And then this book is unnecessarily big. It could be way shorter, and way more interesting, if we didn't spend so much time reading, with immense detail, every single thought she has. That's why I had to put it down the first time - I was so bored.
Of course that me, being me, I need to read the second book because this one ends in a cliffhanger. I just need to know.
