Hana is a novella from Lauren Oliver's Delirium universe. The story centers around Hana, Lena's best friend, during the summer before her cure. It takes place at the same time that Lena and Alex's story during Delirium.
Hana is feeling suffocated by all the pressures by her up coming Cure and her match to the Mayor's son. She has decided to live her life to the fullest by going to all the underground parties she can before her Cure date.
She experiences the life of the party, the rhythm of the music, and even her first kiss during her summer. Although she feels that Lena is drifting further away from. At the party that was raid, Hana believes she has made a grave mistake in her lifestyle choice, and goes to apologize for her mistakes to Lena, only to find that Lena has a secret of her own.
Hana is a complicated girl. On one hand she wants to freedom, and a taste of the forbidden, but she also tries to be the good girl and has accepted her fate as being Cured. She, also, has quite the jealous streak which manifest the more time she spends with Lena and Alex.
The revelation at the end left quite the impression. It will be interesting to see how that will play into Requiem's story. I hear that Requiem is a switch between Lena and Hana, so this is a must read before Requiem.
