Review- The Program by Suzanne Young

Series: Program Hardcover: 416 pages Publisher: Simon Pulse (April 30, 2013) In Sloane’s world, true feelings are forbidden, teen suicide is an epidemic, and the only solution is The Program. Sloane knows better than to cry in front of anyone. With suicide now an international epidemic, one outburst could land her in The Program, the only proven course of treatment. Sloane’s parents have already lost one child; Sloane knows they’ll do anything to keep her alive. She also knows that everyone who’s been through The Program returns as a blank slate. Because their depression is gone—but so are their memories. Under constant surveillance at home and at school, Sloane puts on a brave face and keeps her feelings buried as deep as she can. The only person Sloane can be herself with is James. He’s promised to keep them both safe and out of treatment, and Sloane knows their love is strong enough to withstand anything. But despite the promises they made to each other, it’s getting harder to hide the truth. They are both growing weaker. Depression is setting in. And The Program is coming for them. REVIEW: Intriguing Fantastic Book- 5 STARS ***** I read this book in three days and was hooked the whole time. The ending left me a bit confused, but not in a bad way. I can't wait to get my hands on book 2. I loved the main idea of this story and also the characters. I'm curious to find out where this series is headed. Highly recommend The Program- Well written, worth the time, money, and makes a great addition to your shelves. This will be a killer wait to get my hands on the next one. :)
