Yess!! It broke my heart a little hearing that he was a part of the program!!

[Ariel]

Finished

(view spoiler)[
This book was amazing. I absolutely loved the characters and the epilogue killed me! I feel so bad for Realm but I am happy he helped in the end. (hide spoiler)]

[Haley]

Finished (view spoiler)[ I loved this book! I want to continue the series and if you want to plan a buddy read to continue, but if not no worries! I loved the characters as well and the plot turned out better than I thought it would. I hope Sloane and James will escape and get as far away as they can. I feel bad for Realm too! It's just an endless cycle for him. (hide spoiler)]

[Ariel]

Haley wrote: "Finished [spoilers removed]"

We definitely have to continue! You're as animated about this as I am, it's refreshing!

[Haley]

Yes I love this series! Would you want to plan a buddy read for this month? I would just need to check out the 2nd book from the library.

[Ariel]

Me too, let me make sure they have it!

[Haley]

Okay! Just let me know what date you would want to start it!

[Ariel]

Starting!

[Haley]

I'll start later today! In about 2 hours! I can't wait

[Ariel]

Chapter 5
(view spoiler)[ So far it definitely isn't as exciting as the first book. I really don't like Dallas. I think he is a huge B word and if I was Sloanne I would have snapped on her already. Something is up with Lacey :(

I wonder who this creepy guy Adam is (hide spoiler)]

[Haley]

sorry I got super sidetracked! I'm starting now

[Ariel]

No worries, I'm heading to bed so you have plenty of time! I stopped at the beginning of chapter 8 :)

[Ariel]

Chapter 10
(view spoiler)[ Is it me or does it seem like there is just a lot of sex and crying so far? We aren't getting any answers and now Realm is back to stir the pot (hide spoiler)]

[Ariel]

Part 2 Chapter 4
(view spoiler)[ I actually feel bad for Realm, he clearly loves Sloane. I can't believe it even took Sloane that long to realize that James was missing and that didn't shake Realm off immediately. They have a very weird relationship considering Dallas would flirt with James right in front of Sloane and Sloane never said a word about it. (hide spoiler)]

[Ariel]

Part 2 Chapter 8
(view spoiler)[ Cas you are a freaking idiot! I cannot believe he ratted them out and then thought The Program would actually leave Dallas alone! I hope Roger is dead and I really hope that Realm busts them out (hide spoiler)]

[Ariel]

Finished
(view spoiler)[ It was hard to put the book down, so I just sprinted till the end. I guess I wasn't expecting a happy ending yet? For some reason I thought there would be another book after this so it wasn't unexpected.

I guess I'm not really upset with how things ended (hide spoiler)]

[Haley]

Finishing today! Part 2 chapter 6 (view spoiler)[ I'm wondering what they are going to do for the rest of the story? Just keep running and now that James is missing I'm not sure what will happen. I don't enjoy how Sloane, James, and Realm have a love triangle because it just doesn't work well. I don't think James will take the pill and I have a feeling he is going to be found. I didn't like Dallas in the beginning, but now she is growing on me. (hide spoiler)]

[Haley]

Part 2 Chapter 8 (view spoiler)[ I can't believe Realm is the one who called The Program to take Dallas away... I wouldn't trust Realm after hearing that either and I can't believe Cas told The Program their location!! He just ratted them out and now Dallas is broken forever. At least they didn't get the pill though! (hide spoiler)]

[Haley]

Part 3 Chapter 3 (view spoiler)[ Sloane finds out again about Realm being a handler. It's almost repetitive again, especially with Asa. How is Sloane going to get herself out of this situation? (hide spoiler)]

[Haley]

finished (view spoiler)[ I enjoyed this book, but not as much as the first one. The ending seemed a little rushed with The Program just getting shut down right away and just an article stating what happened. I'm happy James and Sloane are finally together and Dallas is finally becoming happy. (hide spoiler)]

[Haley]

Do you want to continue with the series?

[Haley]

I had to start the 3rd book because it was due back to the library in just a couple of days. Hopefully can finish the 4th book tomorrow because they are kind of fast reads.

[Haley]

25% (pg 100) (view spoiler)[ I like the new concept of this book, but it's also strange. This is the world before The Program became a thing and it's interesting to see how it all started. I'm not sure how I would feel if it was happening to me. I wouldn't want to see the person I just lost again (or a person pretending to be the one I lost). It's just an awkward situation. I like Quinlan's personality and Deacon is confusing to me though (hide spoiler)]

[Haley]

67% (pg. 270) (view spoiler)[ Wow things are getting intense with Quinlan becoming more attached to the family. You can see that Catalina was starting to experience depression, but I don't understand why yet. What does Virginia have to do with her death too? (hide spoiler)]

[Haley]

79% (pg. 317) (view spoiler)[ Of course Quinlan won't stay.. Deacon has broken her heart more times than she can count and he does it again. He doesn't help her through this choice, but rather breaks her more. Isaac and Quinn were too caught up in the fake world that it really did need to end. I wonder how she's going to fix this family. (hide spoiler)]

[Haley]

finished (view spoiler)[ I really enjoyed this story! I loved the background of how the epidemic came to be. It's crazy to think that she's not even Quinn... she's someone else. I wonder if her parents had a choice in giving her up though? Now she can't even trust Deacon. She has no idea that he's her handler man this series is honestly really good. (hide spoiler)]

[Brooke]

about 70% done with The Program, hoping to finish tomorrow, have the audio and i haven't had the time to listen the past few days :(

[Kelli]

The Treatment
Thru page 92

(view spoiler)[ I’m not sure how I feel about Cas and Dallas. Dallas seems like quite the spitfire and honestly kind of rude. They’re trying to recruit rebels, but how well is that going to go over if she is just a bitch to them?! lol
I’m worried about Lacey. Did she get back too many memories or just memories in the wrong way? Did losing Kevin spark something for her that sent her back in to depression? I wonder if we’ll see her again.
James’ file. Oh boy. Seems they weren’t lying when they said he said he didn’t love Sloane. This could’ve been his way of protecting her. Basically saying that she’s fine - she’s not struggling because he’s gone and to not associate him with her. But how did he do this with the truth serum/pills/whatever? I know Sloane tried to hold back but she was unable after given the medication... (hide spoiler)]

No worries :) how are you liking it? These are my favorite kinds of books. Different of course, it kinda makes me think along the lines of the darkest minds. Dystopians are kind of my kryptonite 😂

[Kelli]

The Treatment
Thru page 123
(view spoiler)[ I’m happy Realm is back - though I know that isn’t felt by everyone. James has reason to feel the way he does toward him and I feel like Sloane is just kinda wish washy and super confused when it comes to him. Realm seems super adamant that James does not love her - is there something we don’t know? Even so the feelings are there now and I do feel bad for him having to watch how Sloane is with Realm. It would hurt my heart too
I’m also super curious about Realms past with Dallas. Dallas throws it around as a friends with benefits kind of situation, but I think that’s more just to get under Sloane’s skin. Seems like something she really enjoys doing.
I’m curious to see what this doctor, the creator of the program can do for them. (hide spoiler)]

[Kelli]

The Treatment
Thru page 202
(view spoiler)[ I’ve been waiting to see what Dallas and Realm’s last has been about. More than was let on in the beginning that’s for sure. It seems that Realm - the only one to fully remember - feels/knows that everyone would basically hate him if they remembered everything.
James returns and Sloane tells him everything. She comments that she doesn’t think he’s well. I don’t know that I think he’s ‘infected’ or anything. Maybe his personality trait is just to make people feel bad in turn making him feel better? And he did so well in the program because it was basically spending his whole time deceiving people. I really liked him - not I’m all just ‘grrrrrr’ over here 😂 (hide spoiler)]

[Brooke]

22%
(view spoiler)[ These damn horny teens, the triangle is taking over the plot at this point. Also she freaked out over that damn ring again, ugh. (hide spoiler)]

[Brooke]

43%
(view spoiler)[ Bye James, thank god, less drama now hopefully. I don't see why the doctor seeks them out for the Cure, feel like there would be an easier way. (hide spoiler)]

[Brooke]

62%
(view spoiler)[ So we have a square now or a hexagon if we count Cass(?). James is back, ugh, so glad he brought condoms with him. GAG (hide spoiler)]

[Kelli]

The Treatment
Finished
(view spoiler)[ Back in The Program. I honestly wasn't expecting this. I don't know how else I was expecting things to be exposed and the program to be shut down, but half of them getting caught and hauled back into the program wasn't what I was thinking Of course Realm had his own agenda and was able to plan accordingly and save everyone in the process. He is such a hero, but also such a villian in this story.
I was suuuuper surprised that Evelyn committed suicide and I won't lie - right off the bat when Sloane saw Realm with blood on this clothes a part of me thought that he killed her. My brain jumps to wacky conclusions sometimes.
I know this is a happy ending, but I still don't know 100% how I feel about it. I feel like it kind of just went from oh crap - heres a shitstorm! to ok...everyone is either home and happy or off starting their new lives. Up until then I feel like the process and the story was great and I really did like this one :) (hide spoiler)]

[Brooke]

95%
(view spoiler)[ Fuck you roger. Got what you deserved, glad someone had the balls to press charges against him for raping those girls. Didn't realize he didn't have his cure, i like that Realm kept it form him. Too bad about Evelyn, thou why did it go from 0 to 100 so quick. like they just talked to her and bam, killed herself. Glad the program is shut down but we'll see how this goes in the next book. (hide spoiler)]

[Brooke]

The Remedy

13%
(view spoiler)[ 2 weeks is way too long. like they just went on and on about the safety of them and shit, then gonna turn around and send her out for 2wks, sheesh. (hide spoiler)]

[Brooke]

28%
(view spoiler)[ Yah I wouldn't go to a practice, and shouldn't games be on Saturday? Also getting your real hair done to look just like her's that's damn near stalking (hide spoiler)]

[Brooke]

61%
(view spoiler)[ Yah kissing is a bad idea. You're getting too far into this. I don't think Issac sees her as just a "closure" anymore. (hide spoiler)]

[Brooke]

78%
(view spoiler)[Dear God just pick a boy and go with it. Fucking deacon when youre so in "love" with Issac, and he is crazy so good luck there. (hide spoiler)]

[Kelli]

The Remedy
Chapters 1-5
(view spoiler)[ the concept of this book and the closers in general is super intriguing. Also knowing that this takes place before the program kind of has me on my toes wondering where it all is going to lead. There is obviously something with Deacon and Quinn - sounds to me like he is just scared and pushing her away. The idea of Quinn going back into assignment so quick is such a big shock to everyone. This is going to be a big deal... (hide spoiler)]

[Kelli]

The Remedy
Page 201
(view spoiler)[
I don’t know if I’m rooting for Quinn to stick to her job and take all the steps in closing that she is supposed to....or oddly enough just kind of forming this into her life somehow. I know that really can’t/shouldn’t be a thing, but it’s also hard not to feel just content and happy with how much love there is for Catalina now toward Quinn (hide spoiler)]

Page 316
(view spoiler)[ It’s honestly kind of scary that Isaac got to the point that he did - truly believing that Quinn was Catalina. I agree that he would have and may still mourn all over again. It’s also crazy how all of Quinn’s memories got jumbled to the point where she was so confused she forgot who she was and what was real. I don’t like that she’s throwing herself back into it. This one night missing has probably stirred quite a commotion with Catalina’s parents, Marie and even possibly Aaron and Quinn’s dad depending who has all been contacted 😬 (hide spoiler)]


Page 374
(view spoiler)[I feel like I’m constantly wondering WTF!! lol I was seriously going to finish my chapter and go to bed but that’s a big old nope. I think my favorite heart warming part is Catalina’s father saying how much they really do care for Quinn as herself - not Quinn as Catalina.

Now....
Is Quinn really a closer brought in and just taken over Tom’s real daughters life?! I have an outrageous amount of questions that are going to keep me glued to this series. I am sad to see Aaron and Marie go. (hide spoiler)]

[Kelli]

The Epidemic
Chapters 1-7
(view spoiler)[ I’m already TOTALLY into this book! ‘Quinn’ has found out some pretty big things about herself though if I’m being honest I foresee her being caught or brought in by someone somewhere along the line 😒 I’m hoping she finds Marie, but also wondering what more she can really offer her. Roger tho. Ugghh Roger!! I’m so not happy to be seeing him that’s for sure! So he started as a closer - I wonder if all the handlers were once closers? If so, This really helps me to see how Realm could constantly throw himself into the program and not be seen as a handler - being someone else would be second nature to him. (hide spoiler)]

[Kelli]

The Epidemic
Page 182
(view spoiler)[ Deacon. Oh Deacon. I want to believe everything he says 100%. Him and ‘Quinn’ belong together and just need to tackle all of this and run away and be happy in love. Yeah...I’m a total sap - it’s cool 😂 I can’t believe how things went down with Roderick and now Micah. Virginia even mentioning that she may forget had me questioning. He must think he’s shielding her and preventing her from getting ‘sick’ by blocking out these memories. In reality he is breaking her apart piece by piece. It’s a good thing that she knows about Quinn now, but I still don’t think she totally trusts her (hide spoiler)]

[Kelli]

The Epidemic
Page 250
(view spoiler)[ I’m happy they’ve finally found Marie amidst all the stuff in Arthur’s office, but I’m a little lost as to what exactly it is here that she is planning. I get that the closers may be able to kind of head off this suicide epidemic without having to transition to handlers, but then what? I was also surprised to hear the name Evelyn Valentine. If this all works it’s way around will we maybe see how Realm plays into all of this? That would sure be interesting. (hide spoiler)]
