Even after going through The
Program and having their memories taken away, James and Sloane have found
themselves inseparable once more. However, running away has made them more of a
target than before. With rumors of rebels, betrayals from their families in
Oregon, and The Program doing everything possible to get James and Sloane back,
they must decide whom to trust to help them find new lives—but even that isn’t
as straightforward as it seems.
This continuation of James and Sloane’s story is not as good
as The Program. I have enjoyed the premise of how to cure an epidemic of
suicide, and the new characters introduced in The Treatment were wonderful
additions. The reason that I did not enjoy this sequel as much is because
Sloane goes out of character. The love triangle was forced upon her by Young,
making Sloane’s reactions to the dilemma extremely frustrating to read.
