Those are of course the moments when I specifically remember thinking "oh boy, I am LUVIN" this", but the whole book was excellent for me. It's actually the first I've read where I was literally scared, happy, sad, hyped, stunned, mad, etc. in perfect tandem with the MC. :)

right on. the way she writes works so well for me. I've read Delirium, Pandemonium, and Before I Fall, and the only negative in all those hundreds of pages of reading was in Delirium where Lena refers to bat droppings as bat $#!t. I felt jarred by what seemed to be coarse, out-of-character language. Which made me realize just how perfectly IN character L. Oliver's characters are. You know?



When she says "You have to understand. I am no one special. I am just a single girl. I am five feet two inches tall and I am in-between in every way."

'He speaks on, words washing over me, the way that sunlight skips over the surface of water and filters into the depths below, lightning up the darkness. I keep my eyes closed. Amazingly, I can still see the stars: whold galaxies blooming from nothing- pink and purple suns, vast silver oceans, a thousand white moons.'
I have many many others but this one is definately in the top 3 :D

alex " let me show you"
so sexy"
Bahahha!! I totally agree... I kept reading that part over and over. Weird? Not at all!
Another favorite part is when Alex tells her he saw her before at the Governor and he left a note for her in the fist but she never ran that way anymore.
Another one is the ending. It's one of my favorites because I really felt Lena's emotions. I don't like it for what had happened but, the whole sacrifice thing... kdasjfkjdskfasdf I can't explain :( cried so much.
I have so many but I can't think straight right now...

100% thumbs up for this part! This part gave me the longest smile that, maybe, I made during reading a book. And I kept on rolling on my bed whenever I remember these lines.
For Pandemonium, I love the whole thing that Lena changed into something tough gal and could concentrate and make plans unlike what she was during her days in Portland.

I love torn-between-bestfriend-or-lover scenes :))

"You don't know me," I say quickly.
"I want to, though.”
So sexy I love you Alex!!




This is my favorite part of the book, even if it isn't a specific moment.
Also, I have not yet read the sequel. So if Pandemonium completely destroys my comment, my apologies!

Then he goes on about the moment before sunrise and stuff.

Love that too because Alex is so witty...grey omg that just made me melt :D

I miss Alex!!!!! I am reading fanfic online and like 3 stories have Lena end up with Julian!!!!!!! Noooiooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! Those writers are obviously team Julian :'( but I am going to write pandy from Alexs POV, but as a short story. When in done, I'll post it :)

that was a great part too!

Of my favorites, obviously I love all of them but I really love when the cows are set loose in the labs, not only is it super funny but its the scene where you first see Alex and especially after rereading it, once I know what he becomes to her it just instantly became a favorite
