Delirium (Delirium, #1)

by Lauren Oliver

We should be protected from the people who will leave us in the end, from all the people who will disappear or forget us.

One of the strangest things about life is that it will chug on, blind and oblivious, even as your private world—your little carved-out sphere—is twisting and morphing, even breaking apart. One day you have parents; the next day you’re an orphan. One day you have a place and a path. The next day you’re lost in a wilderness.
