THE PROGRAM

Author:  Suzanne Young
Genre:  YA Dystopian, Standalone
Published:  2013
Personal Rating:  2.75/5 (eh +)
Format/Narrator:  Audiobook/Joy Osmanski

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.

  2. Doesn't sound good at all. I think the cover is rather depressing too!

    1. Staci ~ I think it has great ratings, but I didn't care for the continual negative tone.
