The first book in Suzanne Youngâs New York Times bestselling series is a âgripping tale for lovers of dystopian romanceâ (Kirkus Reviews) about two teens in a world where true feelings are forbidden, teen suicide is an epidemic, and the only solution is The Programânow with a freshly reimagined look.
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. Sloaneâs parents have already lost one child; Sloane knows theyâll do anything to keep her alive. She also knows that everyone whoâs been through The Program returns as a blank slate. Because their depression is goneâbut 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. Heâs 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, itâs getting harder to hide the truth. They are both growing weaker. Depression is setting in.
And The Program is coming for them.

The wrighting was ok and the storyline was clear but i never really understood what was going on, f it was that feelings where kind of forbidden or any other thing so the whole book was very confusing.

Den var en helt okej start pĂ„ en serie, tillrĂ€ckligt spĂ€nnande för att hĂ„lla intresset uppe. Spoiler nedan: Betyget gĂ„r ner en aning för jag tycker att serien ger en oroande bild av sjĂ€lvmord, att sjĂ€lvmord nĂ€stan blir ett âbraâ alternativ till The Program, som hjĂ€rntvĂ€ttar och tar bort minnen för att ârĂ€ddaâ ungdomar frĂ„n sjĂ€lvmord. Författaren förenklar dessa tunga problem vĂ€ldigt, och det Ă€r mer fokus pĂ„ karaktĂ€rens kĂ€rleksliv Ă€n de extremt viktiga Ă€mnena som serien behandlar. Vad Ă€r det som orsakar sjĂ€lvmordsepidemin? Hur mĂ„r karaktĂ€rerna egentligen? Hur kom det sig att The Program fick fĂ€ste, ett program som raderar minnen frĂ„n en hel generation utan att nĂ„gon ifrĂ„gasĂ€tter dem?
