Convince us to read the book: Lena is an amazingly realistic character that is able to find pure love while living through a time-period of paranoia and aggression. Because love is treated as a disease, she must begin a path of self discovery and learns to differentiate between what is right and what is wrong.
Compelling Aspect of the Book: Set in a not-so-distant future, Oliver writes a compelling plot about a society that is trying to brainwash its citizens into believing a falsehood. This idea of love as a disease is both disturbing and realistic.
