I had been recommended this series several times over to read, and I finally managed to get around to it (so many books, so little time!) I have never read any of Oliver's other books before.

The premise of this series is that love is a disease. At first, you are just struck with horror by the idea, but then you realize that love - at least "new" love - is definitely a disease!

There's a surgery where they can remove the ability to love from your life, thus "curing" the disease. Problem is, they take away basically all of your emotions, and you are turned into a robot, a zombie, an emotionless shell of a human being. That's just SO scary for me.

The characters are great, the book is well written, and obviously the series is very popular. Overall, I didn't love the book, but I did enjoy it. I felt the pace was a little slow, but the book ends with a big cliffhanger.

I received a copy of the book from the library.
