If you were captivated by Lena’s struggle against a regime that outlaws love in Delirium, you’ll find yourself hooked on Matched. Follow Cassia as she questions the Society’s rules after being paired with her ‘optimal’ match—but discovering her heart has other plans. The tension between love and control, and the journey to reclaim personal agency, make this a natural next step.
If you found Lena’s growth and inner transformation in Delirium powerful, Before I Fall offers another moving journey. Samantha relives the last day of her life over and over, forced to confront her choices and change who she is. You’ll appreciate the deep emotional evolution and the way the protagonist learns to see herself—and her world—differently.
If the romance between Lena and Alex, set against an oppressive dystopia, drew you into Delirium, you’ll be fascinated by D-503’s illicit relationship in We. The protagonist’s awakening to emotion and individuality in a world that suppresses both is both haunting and revolutionary—just like Lena’s journey to reclaim her right to love.
If you were intrigued by the crumbling, tightly controlled world of Delirium, Station Eleven presents a hauntingly beautiful exploration of humanity after civilization’s fall. Following interconnected characters navigating a changed world, it asks what is truly essential for survival—and for living meaningfully.
If you were drawn to the close-up intensity of Lena’s internal struggle and forbidden desires in Delirium, Only Ever Yours offers a similarly intimate look at girls navigating a world where perfection is demanded and love is a liability. The focus on a few characters and their deeply personal journeys makes the stakes feel heartbreakingly real.
