The first book in Lauren Oliver's New York Times bestselling trilogy
about forbidden love, revolution, and the power to choose.
In an alternate United States, love has been declared a dangerous
disease, and the government forces everyone who reaches eighteen to have
a procedure called the Cure. Living with her aunt, uncle, and cousins in
Portland, Maine, Lena Haloway is very much looking forward to being
cured and living a safe, predictable life. She watched love destroy her
mother and isn't about to make the same mistake.
But with ninety-five days left until her treatment, Lena meets enigmatic
Alex, a boy from the Wilds who lives under the government's radar. What
will happen if they do the unthinkable and fall in love?
