In this "gripping tale for lovers of dystopian romance" (Kirkus Reviews), 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.

Best book I've ever read.

I love this book so much. This book is the first book in the series. I've read the whole series, and I would say that this one is the best. When I was in 6th grade I was browsing the shelves of my classroom for books, and this one caught my eye so I read it. It made a huge impact on me, and I reread it. I reread it in 7th grade, then again in 8th, and I’m currently reading it again now. (9th grade.) The writing of this book is amazing. The author creates lovable characters, and then adds a plot twist here and there that’s sure to make you cry. My favorite character would have to be Miller. He is sort of a side character, but the best friend to the 2 main characters. The plot is suspenseful, and it’s sure to keep you on your toes. It made me both laugh and cry, and made such an emotional impact on me. The author uses such descriptive words and creates such heavy situations that the book will be on your mind for the rest of your day. I cried many times reading this book. The only thing I wasn’t a fan of was how long the series dragged on. It could’ve ended after the 3rd or 4th book. However, that’s more for me to read so I’m not too upset about it. I will keep on recommending this book to my peers for as long as I can. Definitely borrow it from your local library, buy it from your bookstore, or order it online. One thing to know if that this book talks heavily about depression and suicide. So if this would be a topic sensitive to you, it’s probably best to pick a different book. If I were to recommend another good romance one, you could read any of the books by Nicola Yoon, or David Yoon. This book is recommended for teenagers 14 and older.
