Lena lives in a future where love has been classified as a disease and all young people are "cured" on their eighteenth birthdays after being "paired" with a person from the opposite sex deemed appropriate by the authorities.
Lena has a secret - her mother was subjected to the cure, but it didn't work, and so Lena grew up knowing real love, not just "bonding" until she was six when her mother committed suicide. At the start of the book, Lena is terrified of love, and can't wait for her cure.
Another "Young Adult" novel, and again it suffered from the lack of bite. I found the story to be just too predictable. Having said that it is well written, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone over the age of 19.
