Waiting on Wednesday #8



Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine and highlights an upcoming release we're eagerly awaiting.

The Program by Suzanne Young
Publication Date: April 30, 2013

Goodreads Summary:

In Sloane’s 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. Sloane’s parents have already lost one child; Sloane knows they’ll do anything to keep her alive. She also knows that everyone who’s been through The Program returns as a blank slate. Because their depression is gone—but 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. He’s 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, it’s getting harder to hide the truth. They are both growing weaker. Depression is setting in. And The Program is coming for them.


I haven't read the author's other works yet, but I heard good things. This sounds like a cool dytopian with a unique twist.

What books are you waiting for?

  1. I already saw this book on a couple of wow's and I agree it does sound interesting. I recently read anthology 'Two and Twenty Dark Tales' (my review if you are interested) and there was a story by Suzanne Young, so she's not totally new to me. Nice pick. :)
    Happy holidays!
