im not entirely sure of the point of this short story or when u should read it. (before or after delirium). it seems like the first part of it is like reading a snippet of delirium and then the last of it is like a sneek peek of pandemonium. regardless, i enjoyed reading it for the fact of it being a while since i read delirium and i kinda cant wait to read pandemonium. i guess i'd say to read this if u were slightly interested in knowing the trilogy.. but its not a must.

It was awesome to read from Lena's BFF's perspective. In fact I loved all the twists and turns that Lauren Oliver added and how well it connects to the book of "Delirium". So many things that make you go....wow that totally makes sense. It was a great read and gives light on answering some of the questions I had in the first place.

Short story is short. Finished in two hours. It's a nice peek at Hana's POV of her last summer before her cure. It also confirmed something that I suspected while nearing the end of Delirium.

I can't find a way to explain that ending. That's so un-Hana. Nevertheless Lauren Oliver's writing is always wonderful. (and the first pages of Pandemonium! I think that I will read it very very soon)

C'était vraiment très court et j'ai trouvé qu'on apprenait pas grand chose en plus sur Hanna...

Another short story to add to the delirium universe. I wasn't fond of this one however. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I do not like Hana so much to begin with. There were some quotes I liked but again this one adds so little to the main story. It doesn't even say what Hana did after Lena goes 'missing'. That would have been nice; or even if we have her perspective and thoughts when Lena is caught. Off to read "Pandemonium" now!

This short story is a great addition to the Delirium series. I love reading from other characters's perspectives, and Hana is the perfect character for Oliver to highlight. It made me anticipate Requiem's release in a few weeks with a little more excitement than I originally had.
