In the late 2000s, dystopian series like The Hunger Games and Divergent skyrocketed in popularity. One of the novels in the genre, which was released in 2011, has been ranked among one of the “Best Books Involving Forbidden Love” on Goodreads.
Delirium is the first book in a trilogy by best-selling author, Lauren Oliver. It is a dystopian young adult romance about a society where love is seen as a disease. Anyone who turns 18 is required to undergo a procedure so that they can be “cured” of the emotion. Then they will be married off.
The main character, Lena Haloway, is originally excited about getting the procedure since she watched her mother get destroyed by love and doesn’t want the same to happen to her. However, she starts to fall for an uncured rebel boy days before she is scheduled to get the procedure and isn’t sure whether it’s what she wants anymore.
Delirium was a New York Times bestseller that received largely positive reviews. As one Goodreads user said, “I have to admire Oliver for the creative spin she placed on American society when establishing this dystopian world. She managed to create a plausible universe in which love had been almost completely eradicated. I felt a pang of sorrow each time Oliver highlighted the emotionless shell of a community in which parents exhibited no compassion for their children and married couples exchanged no signs of affection for one another. Such examples reveal the underlying theme: a life without love is not worth living.”

The second novel in the trilogy, Pandemonium, was released in 2012 and the final book, Requiem, was released in 2013. Short ebooks were also released in between, which were ultimately compiled into Delirium Stories: Hana, Annabel, and Raven.
Fox ordered a television pilot of Delirium with Emma Roberts playing the lead role, but they ultimately declined to pick it up. However, another book written by Oliver, Panic, was adapted into an Amazon Prime TV show of the same name. Oliver wrote every episode and served as the executive producer.
Other books that made the list of “Best Books Involving Forbidden Love” include Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, and Divergent. The number one spot went to City of Bones by Cassandra Clare, a story about a teenager who discovers a hidden world of demon-hunting warriors called Shadowhunters.
