The chemicle garden trilogy.

 Wither, and Fever.
Author-Lauren DeStefano!
http://thechemicalgardenbooks.com/wither/

By age sixteen, Rhine Ellery has four years left to live. She can thank modern science for this genetic time bomb. A botched effort to create a perfect race has left all males with a lifespan of 25 years, and females with a lifespan of 20 years. Geneticists are seeking 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.
  






 To tell you the truth, i couldn't get through even wither. But i pushed on. And... well, i didn't like these two books. I had a hard time concentrating, and a hard time understanding what was going on. The author switched topics fast, and she went back and forth between what she had with her brother t the time she was at the mansion/prison. SO i never did find out the ending. At least it tried...


 Rhine and Gabriel have escaped the mansion, but they’re still in danger. Outside,
they find a world even more disquieting than the one they left behind. Determined to
get to Manhattan and to find Rhine’s twin brother Rowan, the two press forward,
amidst threats of being captured again . . . or worse.
The road they are on is long and perilous-and in a world where young women only live
to age 20 and men die at age 25, time is precious. In this sequel to Lauren
DeStefano’s harrowing Wither, Rhine must decide if freedom is worth the price-now
that she has more to lose than ever.

There is also a book before all of this happened. Its called, The seeds of wither. Its the before events, of when 'before' Rhine was a bride, and escaping death.
