My Thoughts:
Hana was one of my favorite character in Delirium, she was fearless, adventurous and badass. She listens to illegal music, she always went to parties and she loves to break the rules. But there's a side to Hana that I only saw in this book and it totally changed my perspective of her.
Hana's life was almost "perfect". She was beautiful, smart and rich. She was paired to the mayor's son, Fred, who was handsome and a gentleman and who will probably be the next mayor after his father. But still after all of this, Hana is still breaks the rule and went out to underground parties where she met Steve.
"It's worse than a disease. It's a poison.
And I like it."
Okay, that's where I would end my storytelling about what happened in this book. Hana really surprised me here. I thought in Delirium, she was a strong, carefree and loyal girl but I was totally wrong. I guess, love really changes people.
Now, as I compared what happened to Lena and Hana and Delirium, I realized something. Love will either change you for the better or the worse. It's your choice to pick which side you wanted. Hana picked hers when she said this lines.
"I'm sorry, Lena."
