(2) YA When teenagers begin committing suicide at epidemic rates, drastic solutions are required. Sloane hides her depression as long as she can, but ultimately ends up shipped off to The Program, where her memories disappear. The uncomfortable mix of the good intentions and horrific outcomes of The Program will likely haunt readers as a slightly-too-plausible path adults would choose to "save" their teens.
