I didn't continue the Delirium series but I did continue the Matched trilogy. I liked Matched. I really want to read the third book. Matched has a more complicated plot and isn't completely focused on the love triangle. It has a lot of government issues tied in. Delirium is about love being a disease. Matched is where the government picks everything for you including who you are "matched" to. Delirium wasn't bad, I just didn't like the love story. Which is basically the books main point. It was well written though. I just couldn't stand to read the other books because it seemed like torturing myself to endure through those books after Googling some stuff about what happens. The end of book one was just feviundeic. I didn't want to go to book two and find out all this other stuff and get pulled into a cliche love story.
That are not exactly alike. They both have a strong emphasis on love, but many things are different. Delirium is where love is a disease and you must be cured and you have to take a test and that stuff etc. matched is where the government dictates everything like who you get matched to, what you eat, what can you own, stuff like that. Basically equality for all is what the gov is trying to get. It gets pretty complicated and there are a lot of things that I don't feel like typing because I'm lazy.
Yeah, but I continued Matched trilogy because there was more to it. If you read Crossed there is more than a love story. Read The Help soon because you have to read it! Also we should totally watch the movie together! I think I have gotten too many obsessions lately. I've just been sitting in my room all day obsessing over things. I still haven't written my paper which is due this week and I'm only going to keep putting it off because I don't want to do it and it is really easy.

It is by Gillian Flynn...Suspense....It's about a woman who disappears on her 5th wedding anniversary. Of course, the husband is the number one suspect. Very good...lots of twists.
I'm currently reading The Enchantress by Michael Scott and The Ask and the Answer by Patrick Ness
