Synopsis:
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.
Why I want to review The Program:
My desire to read this one starts with my being a fan-girl. Suzanne use to live fairly close to my town so I got to know her while attending all the local book festivities. Obviously I don't want to read The Program ONLY because of how much fun she is. I also want to read it because she is an incredibly talented writer. Every single one of her books has been engaging and enjoyable. I expect nothing less from this.

I'm really looking forward to this book-I think the focus on emotions is very interesting and I want to know how Sloane and James can fight The Program.
