delirium - Impressions

Hello again readers! Here I am with another book set to be reviewed by yours truly. The one was another from the pile of books I purchased when I was back home visiting family and friends. It also wasn't the next I had pulled out to review, in fact, I seem to be missing my copy of Wither which I had pulled out! Oh well, I guess this book wanted to be read first! Also: I am posting the blurbs from the publisher for my dust jacket impressions, I think it might make it easier to understand what I am reacting to.

Book: Delirium by Lauren Oliver - 2011
My copy of delirium is the special edition, which contains a Q+A from the author, and an excerpt from the sequel.

From the Publisher, dust jacket blurb:
Ninety-five days, and then I’ll be safe.
I wonder whether the procedure will hurt.I want to get it over with.
It’s hard to be patient. It’s hard not to be afraid while I’m still uncured, though so far the deliria hasn’t touched me yet.
Still, I worry.
They say that in the old days, love drove people to madness.
The deadliest of all deadly things: It kills you both when you have it and when you don’t.

From the Publisher; back of the book blurb:
They say that the cure for love will make me happy and safe forever.
And I've always believed them. Until now.
Now everything has changed.
Now, I'd rather be infected with love for the tiniest sliver of a second than live a hundred years smothered by a lie.

Dust Jacket Impressions: Oh! The dust jacket is written in pretty fonts and the occasional word in blue, it reminds me of a poem I once wrote in high school. The publisher did a good job making this stick out, having never seen the original edition of the book I can't compare if it is the same thing.
So, here's what I'm getting from my impressions: the book will be in first person. I'm not saying it WILL be, I'm just assuming this. Most books with a blurb written in first person I tend to find are written in first person. Anyhow, it seems this book takes place in a world where we have cured love. Well, that for one would make my life a lot simpler, can I volunteer for trials in the real world? It looks as though our main character is all for obtaining her pseudo-lobotomy (it's totally what I've decided they do to people, I imagine I'll be disappointed if they get a shot and then a lollipop and are sent on their way), until she happens to fall in love. I mean, I'm guessing she falls in love, I can't imagine in this world she picks up a romance novel and goes, 'hey this sounds awesome, I totally want to fall in love, screw this cure.'
So, here's what I'm worried about: instant love. I suppose it is a YA novel, teenage girls adore thinking that love happens at first site and all that cute stuff, can we start calling it what it is? Infatuation. I'm perfectly okay if our main character sees some dude she wants to get hot and heavy with and then they realize they are in love. Quite frankly though, I am incredibly excited to pick up a book where love is seen as a disease, I am very intrigued to see where this is going.
