I had higher hopes for this book. Although I read it within a day, I couldn't stay connected enough to the characters. The story was about a dystopian society where you are unable to love at all. They gave a procedure at 18 to all to prevent everyone to fall in love as if love was an infection/disease. I saw too many flaws in the story but at times it was lovely. Lena, the main character wanted to follow all the rules. Meeting a guy would open her mind and life to truths she might not want to learn but craves knowing. Content in the story (for parents who are curious for your teenagers) is usage of profanity, disobedience to guardians and others, some violence, underaged drinking, kissing, girl takes her shirt off as well as a guy, and talk of suicide.
