The Program
The Program | Suzanne Young
In Sloanes 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. Sloanes parents have already lost one child; Sloane knows theyll do anything to keep her alive. She also knows that everyone whos been through The Program returns as a blank slate. Because their depression is gonebut 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. Hes 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, its getting harder to hide the truth. They are both growing weaker. Depression is setting in. And The Program is coming for them.

I couldn‘t decide what series I wanted to finish this summer so I added the 8 book series I want to finish to this random image wheel and this is what the wheel chose. I‘ve been wanting to finish this series for awhile. This summer, I will finish reading The Program series by Suzanne Young. I read the first two books and I liked them but I never continued with this series.

Book 14🎧

Suicide is now an epidemic among the young & The Program is the only cure. A sickness that must be contained no matter the cost.

Very interesting story and amazingly written! Hope, heartbreak and hell, all wrapped up. Can‘t wait to see where BK2 takes us!🚨

LindaLappin very timely must read

This was another book I have owned for YEARS and honestly just forgot about it, finally gave it a read after seeing recommended in a video and I did really like it, there were a lot of issues though and hits on some pretty heavy topics but it's definitely worth the read.

In a world where suicide is contagious and has become an epidemic among teenagers, the Program was created. It is supposed to stop the contagion. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I haven‘t go far into this book but from what I know I love it. It is a real good read and you can get trapped in the book. It‘s a world where if you have depression you have to go somewhere called that program and when you come out you have no memories left to be depressed about it‘s a great read.

MissYaremcio Thanks for the review Anastasia! I am glad that you are loving the book so far!! 4y

First one was good. 2nd one I barely finished. Plot didn't make sense and the order of events didn't seem logical. Too much teen angst in 2nd one.

This was a solid example of YA dystopian fantasy. It has that good rebellious spirit that such books often invoke. The subject matter is, however, very sad and a little bit triggering. Not for the faint of heart.

This was such a pleasant surprise!

I started reading this book with low expectations, and now cannot wait to start the second in the series!

The Program is set in a time where teen suicide is at all-time high. It is an epidemic. But with The Program, depressed teenagers can have all those sad memories erased from their mind.

But will they ever be the same?

Main character Sloane loves her boyfriend James and surely they‘ll never forget that...

OnlyYoo Wow this sounds so interesting! Stacked :) 5y
KristenDuck @OnlyYoo so so good! I love finding a book and not knowing what to expect and then being blown away like this! 5y

5/5 of this book. Today i will be doing a throwback on the quotes i loved while reading the first book out of the program series. At first i thought this book would be some hunger game or divergent kind of plot but it is very different and unique. If you or a loved one has dealt with a mental health issue this book is a very good match. It also comes with an amazing love story to cover behind it. Very beautiful!

rretzler I keep seeing this book! I love good dystopias so it‘s about time I picked it up. 5y

I really suffered through this book, however the end left me super hopeful that the rest of the series might be better. It was really a slow start and a lot of it felt like filler, but the end left a good set up for book two. I'm not sure if I will read on, but we will see how I feel after I finish other books I've started.

Just finished!! And it's amazing! So thought provoking on what our society can spiral into in only a matter of months. And on top of that is beautiful romance that makes me only raise the bar higher for my future husband. So, in conclusion, just read this book, you'll be so happy because of it.

Thanks for hosting such a fun giveaway, @keys_on_fire , and congrats on the milestone!!
1) in 1999 I was in 4th grade and my family went to a turn of the century party where everyone dressed in huge dresses from the 19th century. Then the drunk men thought it would be funny to cut the circuit breaker at midnight lol.
2) I don‘t read a lot of sci-do, but I love The Program series (YA). A recent relaxing read was The Hating Game. #L2KGiveaway

keys_on_fire Thanks for entering, & for the book recommendations!! Your memory made me chuckle 😂 I don‘t read much sci-fi, so I thought this could be a good way to find some new ones to try! (edited) 6y
monalyisha Ha! What a good story. 😆 (edited) 6y
Kaylamburson Thanks @keys_on_fire! That is the perfect way to find more sci-fi. I don‘t read a lot of it either, so I‘m also checking out these posts. 6y

The setting is so unique and the concept of the story is so different from all the other dystopian YA books!

A thing I have an issue with - specifically regarding the audiobook - is the narrator. Not the biggest fan. Especially when reading the dialogues of the male voices.

Nonetheless, the story is super cool and unique! Will definitely continue with the other books in the series. 😁

Susanbones I don‘t understand why James did not remember Sloane throwing her purple ring hitting the back of his head in the welfare center place. 6y

High praise for The Program series by Suzanne Young. Fast, entertaining reads that left me pining for more. The series centers around an epidemic in which suicide is the consuming disease. In order to deal with the crisis, The Program is created to prevent adolescents from harming themselves. But The Program proves to be far more sinister than the adults in society perceive it to be.

Kaylamburson I loved this series!! Such a fascinating concept and so well done. 6y

#YAL #dystopia #3 Suicide is an epidemic, and panicked parents send kids to "The Program" at any sign of depression. The Program guantees results by erasing memories. Great premise, but this one misses the boat. Instead of delving into the causes of depression and making connections with today's issues, it's 90% love story: think Romeo and Juliet meets The Vow. But, it has a good pace and enough intrigue to make it readable. 3.5/5 #bookseries

staci.reads @APLitlife My students who have read it loved it, too. One of my most reluctant readers pored through the whole series! 6y

#FriYAYintro by @jess.how
1). Harry Potter, but if you made me pick something less predictable it would be The Program series. Loved it!!
2) All of them except ketchup.. mayo, mustard, relish EWWW
3) Snakes, cockroaches (still have to deal with those thanks to NYC 🤢), and oddly specific, veering off the road into a river and drowning trapped in a car.
4) 1 older sister, 1 brother-in-law, and Nathan the dog 🐶
5) Yay new FriYAYintro-ers!

robinb Totally agree on number 3....including the oddly specific one. 🤣😳 7y
Kaylamburson Haha I'm glad I'm not alone!! I have a lot of nightmares of the car drowning. No idea why that specifically lol @robinb 7y

I'm so frustrated by this book. I didn't love it, but it ended on a cliffhanger! 😫 Why?!! Anyone else read this series? Is it worth continuing?

Kaylamburson I loved this series!! I'm usually not big into series, but this one had me hooked, even the prequels. However, I really liked the first one, so maybe it wouldn't be worth it for you to continue. I thought The prequels were even more fascinating though. 6y

Originally this book was supposed to be a summer reading assignment for my brother, but after reading the synopsis I stole it from him and read it as quickly as I could. I love how The Program is different from most of the previous dystopian novels I have read in the past as well.

Nute With dystopian novels it‘s easy for the plot to become formulaic. It‘s nice to know that this might be a little different. Stacking because of your review!😊 BTW...did your brother read it? What did he think? 5y
mylifeas_marissa @Nute I'm not sure if my brother actually read it. I think for his assignment he just used sparknotes. He's not big into reading unfortunately. 5y
RadicalReader @mylifeas_marissa there‘s also several other books in this series as well be sure to check them out 5y
