Once you get past the beginning, this book is great. There's a tragically funny love triangle, well more like a square. I don't think real relationships are that complicated. My mom says otherwise. Anyway, this book is full of twists and turns as you follow James and Sloane and find out if they'll ever escape The Program's grasp. There is a lot of suspense, especially between parts. Struggle through the first 75 pages and you'll find you can't step away. Almost spoilers*, (if you haven't read the first book) you'll also find out what happens to The Treatment, the pill that can bring back memories and find a part of the program that's even worse than taking memories. The hero in this story is unlikely in real life but, I loved the twist. Overall, a great book. I would definitely recommend this to anyone 13+, for the intense romance.

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?
