Waiting On Wednesday
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 think this will be pretty good! Fingers crossed!!!

This sounds really interesting. I can remember reading books as a teenager that had the government-control theme in them, but now we have such a strong surveillance culture that our fiction seems to be reflecting that with YA fiction that has a more suffocating feeling that before. Maybe I'm over-analyzing, but the idea of The Program, and epidemic suicides definitely seems to reflect a worst-case scenario of modern times. Certainly a book to check out. Thanks for sharing!
