Can Sloane and James survive the lies and secrets surrounding them, or will The Program claim them in the end? Find out in this "chilling and suspenseful" (Publishers Weekly) second book in Suzanne Young's New York Times bestselling Program series—now with a freshly reimagined look.
How do you stop an epidemic?

Sloane and James are on the run after barely surviving the suicide epidemic and The Program. But they're not out of danger. Huge pieces of their memories are still missing, and although Sloane and James have found their way back to each other, The Program isn't ready to let them go.

Escaping with a group of troubled rebels, Sloane and James will have to figure out who they can trust, and how to take down The Program. The key may be in their hazy past, and to unlock it, they need the Treatment—a pill that can bring back forgotten memories, but at a high cost. And there's only one dose.

      In this wrenching sequel to The Program (2013), a few desperate teens race to save what's left of their memories and salvage the tatters of their lives. After being discharged from The Program, a facility developed to stop the teen-suicide epidemic by removing teens' memories, Sloane and James have reignited the passion of their former love. The Program's cure, however, isn't foolproof, and memories can "crash back," causing brain bleeds and insanity. Moreover, The Program has instituted procedural lobotomies and, with the government's backing, is beginning to make teen "behavior modification" mandatory. Sloane and James join a group of rebels intent on destroying The Program, and Sloane holds the one last pill that returns memories. In constant pursuit of the rebels, The Program wants to destroy the pill, but the doctor behind The Program, having seen the error of his ways, seems to want to reproduce it. The story is unrelentingly dramatic: "I put the blade to my neck and began to saw," recounts Sloane's friend Realm, describing his anguish. Compelling questions left dangling from the first book as to the origins of the epidemic, whether "behavioral contagion" and/or media hype, are explored. Offering great appeal to reflective romantics, this jarring thriller looks at the cost of societal complacency while lauding heroism and remembrance. (Dystopian romance. 14-18)
