Suzanne Young created an idea and a world in which really made me think. The Program is set up by the government to cure those teens with the epidemic by taking away close to all their traumatic, “infected” memories. In a world plagued by a suicide epidemic in teens, Sloane the main character and her friends must deal with the complications and struggles of dealing with the “virus”, going undetected by avoiding the Program and keeping their memories. But despite the promises they made to each other, it’s getting harder to hide the truth. He’s promised to keep them both safe and out of treatment, and Sloane knows their love is strong enough to withstand anything. The only person Sloane can be herself with is James. Under constant surveillance at home and at school, Sloane puts on a brave face and keeps her feelings buried as deep as she can. Because their depression is gone-but so are their memories. She also knows that everyone who’s been through The Program returns as a blank slate. Sloane’s parents have already lost one child Sloane knows they’ll do anything to keep her alive. With suicide now an international epidemic, one outburst could land her in The Program, the only proven course of treatment. Sloane knows better than to cry in front of anyone.
