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.

AMAing amazing amazing it it the best book I have ever read!!!!!!!! My fav book for sure! If I could give it a 10000000000000/5 I would

Okay, so I read just the beginning of this book, and it already talked about, you know suicide...on the first page. This book goes over sensitive topics. If you are younger, I wouldn't suggest this book, and if your 12-14 and you don't know what suicide means, I suggest you talk to a parent about it first before getting the book, and get your parents permission before reading the book, also. They may not think that you are not ready to process/read that stuff. Overall a good book.

I read this book with high hopes. I was disapointed. I was WAY to young to read this!

this book is about suicide and is very good, I highly suggest the book but not for younger kids. So far the book is really good and I love it, I recommend this for kids over 13 because it is about suicide and all that but other than that I love this book very much. My friend found and read it and then asked me to read it and I have fallen in love with it. I normally don't like books.

seems cool but the title is weird.I wonder whats it about

Thats a strange title
