Teen suicide is an epidemic and the treatment called The Program has been the only way to save the children.
The idea of taking a pill to erase depressing events from our memory was an interesting topic to explore, but it just kept wallowing in muck, and I didn't want to be there. By the end, I thought someone might come and place ME into The Program! EEK! In general, the book was depressing--maybe not overwhelmingly so, but certainly not encouraging or uplifting.
Yeah, I'm not sure this is for me either.
ReplyDeleteBermudaonion ~ Too much blah for me.
DeleteDoesn't sound good at all. I think the cover is rather depressing too!
ReplyDeleteStaci ~ I think it has great ratings, but I didn't care for the continual negative tone.
