For her, the summer is full of wild music, dancing—and even her first kiss.
But on the surface, Hana must be a model of perfect behavior. She meets her approved match, Fred Hargrove, and glimpses the safe, comfortable life she’ll have with him once they marry.

Reviews
Omg!!
5By Hb314This story ends with a twist that you kind of suspected from Delerium, but weren’t completely sure about. This story gave you Hana’s side of the story. What was Hana doing when she wasn’t around Lena? It was interesting to see her side. You love her, you become annoyed, you love her again— then GASP!! I can’t continue this review any further without giving everything away, so— This story was fantastic, and it definitely needs to be read before moving onto book two. I am LOVING this series, and I cannot wait to see what happens next!!What? Hana is not a good friend.
4By Savi BananaI thought that this book was good but too short. I can't believe Hana. I was so disappointed when a read what she decided to do. Jealousy got the best of her and I was extremely sad . Does she know about what pain she caused Lena? Well, in the end she ended up losing lena and herself. You still should read this book though. It changes your opinion on the whole story, from Hana's perspective.overall this still is a good book and totally twists the storyline.Good but short
5By paigecarlisleIt is a great story, but it is very short. It takes less than an hour to read, but if you love Delirium it is worth it.Hana
3By Healthy girl.............Short story but it gives you an idea of what Hana was up to, so I liked it.Great book
5By Mp1717Great book it lets u know more about the series?
5By Gothic pinkWho ends a book like that?!?!?? Its really good but it's not that different than the first book.Hana
5By Denise GastineauHow long is the oilDisappointed at length!
4By Easternchic2I thought this was a whole novel that would follow Hana through Delirium! So bummed! Yes I know what happens to Lena but what happens to Hana after Lena gets caught, after her cure?? Maybe she's resistant?? I want more! But I love Lauren Oliver!!Save your $2.99
1By LNCH814Save your 2.99$.. This super short story was just not worth any money. Huge fan of the series but spoiler alert you don't learn anything earth shattering besides Hana's side of the story, really condensed (her meeting her match, kissing a boy at a party, and getting jealous of Lena and Alex, enough to maybe rat her out)N2Books
5By In2booksI can't believe this. I just read this after reading Delirium and Pandemonium. I could just smack Hana. Wow. What a jealous witch. I did not expect this. Makes sense though why everything happened. Shame on Hana. I wonder when Lena finds out what she did if she will ever talk to her again. Hana and Julian would be great for each other. Does Hana even realize what all she has done?? Wow!!
