The Treatment (Program)

Can Sloane and James survive the lies and secrets surrounding them, or will The Program claim them in the end? Find out in this sequel to The Program, which Publishers Weekly called “chilling and suspenseful.”

How do you stop an epidemic?

Sloane and James are on the run after barely surviving the suicide epidemic and The Program. But they’re not out of danger. Huge pieces of their memories are still missing, and although Sloane and James have found their way back to each other, The Program isn’t ready to let them go.

Escaping with a group of troubled rebels, Sloane and James will have to figure out who they can trust, and how to take down The Program. But for as far as they’ve come, there’s still a lot Sloane and James can’t remember. The key to unlocking their past lies with the Treatment—a pill that can bring back forgotten memories, but at a high cost. And there’s only one dose.

Ultimately when the stakes are at their highest, can Sloane and James survive the many lies and secrets surrounding them, or will The Program claim them in the end?

Also a very good book and a wonderful sequel to the program! When I first got the program I had no idea it was a 6 book series, though the ending of this book wrapped up so well I am unsure how the rest of the series will go and how everything will connect. This book started right where the first left off, and didn't leave on a cliffhanger like the one prior. I am assuming such will be the case every two books in the series.

The characters are all extremely unlikable and boring. Literally, nothing happens. All the characters do for the first two-thirds of the book is sit around with the 'rebels' and think about how much they hate The Program. No real plan is made for how. It ends with a character that appears twice, swooping in and fixing all their problems off-screen. The love triangle was completely unnecessary, boring, grating, and ended up being the vessel for a lot of sexist ideas and things to be said. In the first book when the main explanation for the suicide epidemic was "People are overusing antidepressants" I gave the author the willing of the doubt because this is the message that The Program, the big bad for the series, gives so it would make sense that it would be bad, but they just double down on it hear, claiming that it was the cause of the epidemic along with friends doing it together, kind of like how turfs talk about young trans people.

Just as hard to put down as the first book, but many of the outcomes are unsatisfying. I did not read the rest of the series because of it lol
