They say that the cure for Love will make me happy and safe forever.
And I've always believed them.
Until now.
Now everything has changed.
Now, I'd rather be infected with love for the tiniest sliver of a second than live a hundred years smothered by a lie.
Lena
looks forward to receiving the government-mandated cure that prevents
the delirium of love and leads to a safe, predictable, and happy life,
until ninety-five days before her eighteenth birthday and her treatment,
when she falls in love.

In the world of Delirium, love is a disease. And like all eighteen-year-olds, Lena and Hana must take the cure.
At the start of their last summer of freedom, they were the closest
of friends. Until Hana made a decision that tore them apart... In Delirium, we heard from Lena. Now, Hana gets to tell her side of the story. And nothing is what we first thought.
Hana is a powerful, moving and beautifully told original
eBook short story, with a shocking twist that will leave you with your
heart in your mouth.
My Review - 7 out of 10
Check out my Review for Delirium (Book 1) here. Check out my Review for Pandemonium (Book 2) here.
This was such a great short story and I had only wished I had read this after I had finished Delirium. If I was to recommend this, I would definately say that the best time to read this book is straight after Delirium when the story is fresh in your mind. Although this story does go through some of the same storyline that is in Delirium, this story gives Hana's side of the story (Hana is Lena's best friend).
This book has a great storyline and an especially great ending...

Lena Haloway is content
in her safe, government-managed society. She feels (mostly) relaxed
about the future in which her husband and career will be decided, and
looks forward to turning 18, when she’ll be cured of deliria, a.k.a.
love. She tries not to think about her mother’s suicide (her last words
to Lena were a forbidden “I love you”) or the supposed “Invalid”
community made up of the uncured just beyond her Portland, Maine,
border. There’s no real point—she believes her government knows how to
best protect its people, and should do so at any cost. But 95 days
before her cure, Lena meets Alex, a confident and mysterious young man
who makes her heart flutter and her skin turn red-hot. As their romance
blossoms, Lena begins to doubt the intentions of those in power, and
fears that her world will turn gray should she submit to the procedure.
