Waiting on Wednesday #25
Hallå, hallå! Onsdag igen och dags för att spana in lite böcker som kommer att publiceras inom den närmaste framtiden. Idag suktar jag efter The Program av Suzanne Young. Hon är förafattren till A Need so Beautiful-triologin som jag faktiskt äger första boken i men inte hunnit läsa än.
Ska jag vara ärlig så var jag inte så intresserad av denna boken först. Det verkar handla om en framtid där alla ungdomar vill ta livet av sig och det enda botemedlet är The Program där de tar bort alla ens minnen. Men jag har nu sett att den har fått extremt bra betyg på Goodreads, så varför inte? Boken kommer ut 30 April.
The Program av Suzanne Young
"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."
