Switched book to Delirium

I love dystopian books and so far this is a good one. Since dystopia is so popular, it would be hard to write a good dystopia book and have it become popular. It is an original plot line. A world without love. At the age of 18 you have to get a surgical procedure that makes it so you can never love again. They make the people heartless, but they dont literally take out your heart. It makes me wonder what inspired the author. I'm thinking maybe this great book could of been inspired by just a bad breakup. Im only around page 100, but I really enjoy this book. It makes me think what the world would be like without love. Lauren has an interesting way of writing it.  
There was something I read in there that really stood out to me and it was,“You can't be happy unless you're unhappy sometimes.” That reminded me of Fahrenheit 451 because a theme of Fahrenheit was engaging in difficult and uncomfortable thoughts are the only way to true happiness. Both the quote and the theme relate because they both say that you need to be unhappy sometimes to find true happiness. Specifically for Delirium, I feel the auothor is trying to get the point across that people need love, thats its just a part of human nature and she does a great job showing that through her words.
