The Chemical Garden Trilogy is a post-apocalyptic dystopia series by Lauren DeStefano. The books are Wither, Fever and Sever.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A botched effort to create a perfect race has left all males born with a lifespan of 25 years, and females a lifespan of 20 years—leaving the world in a state of panic. Geneticists seek a miracle antidote to restore the human race, desperate orphans crowd the population, crime and poverty have skyrocketed, and young girls are being kidnapped and sold as polygamous brides to bear more children.Three of those girls, Rhine, Jenna and Cecily, find themselves married to Linden Ashby, a wealthy young man whose first wife is dying of the virus. Though she's only sixteen, Rhine has four years left to live, and she's desperate not to spend it in captivity. Instead, she decides to escape the mansion she's now living in, and the father-in-law she fears, to return to her home, and her brother, Rowan.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Artistic License – Biology: Men outlive women, which is the reverse of what is biologically inclined to happen. This is especially egregious because the reason for the shortened lifespans is a virus — women, having an extra X chromosome, would have more genetic material to copy from and would therefore be less vulnerable to a virus altering their genome. The book can't seem to decide if the cause for the Depopulation Bomb is a virus or genetic engineering, which are two very different things. Furthermore, the nice thing about genetic engineering is that it's almost always reversible, since there's always a copy of the original genome floating around somewhere. It would be easy for the geneticists to reverse the changes after people started dying.

Abusive Parents: Vaughn towards Linden, who he emotionally controls to an extremely unhealthy extent. Sever makes it clear that ultimately, he really does love his son deeply, and the abuse is well-intentioned, but it doesn't excuse his actions.
