The Epidemic
Page 297
(view spoiler)[ Virginia looks like she’s ready to leave for good. I was worried about her reading what she wrote in the lighthouse after she asked Quinn to leave that first time she brought her there and shared her memories. I can only assume it was something about Quinn being a closer and maybe something about not trusting her. But I suppose now that everything has been painted we don’t have to worry about that 🙄😠 (hide spoiler)]

[Kelli]

The Epidemic
Finished
(view spoiler)[ OMG I swear I'm not even sure what I just read! Quinn finding out she isn't really Quinn. Then finding out Deacon had been working with the Dr. but essentially just so he would't assign someone else has her handler -though that would still make me wonder about trusting him too. Aaron getting roped back into everything. Virginia repeatedly getting her memory tampered with as well. Marie and how she has been deceiving Quinn and everybody but did come through in the end as all of them are a family and Quinn really does love her. Seriously I can't believe that so many things happened in 400 pages. I am still reeling thinking of everything that went down and what to expect going forward. I am SUUUUPER excited to continue with this series and see where everything goes. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[So after all that stealing and shit, Deacon still found you. Either you really suck at this, or you have a body tracker or something.

also, FUCK YOU ROGER/AUGUST! Why you gotta come back and ruin shit. (hide spoiler)]

The Adjustment
Page 81
(view spoiler)[ Tatum’s story is a little different - from outside the program. So we’re not set awhile Sloane and James are on the run - I wonder if we’ll see anything about closers or Quinn/Deacon throughout this somewhere. And where does Kyle play into all of this? I love the small overlaps between everyone’s stories in this series. It definitely keeps me intrigued. Now I can say that I was expecting that Wes wouldn’t remember Tatum, but it’s super crazy/awesome how his body basically just brought him to her house.
Reading the summary on the book it sounds like people’s memories can be shared with those who have returned. In the case of Jana and Vanessa - I wonder if Jana was the one that shared her memories and that’s why they’re so close? (hide spoiler)]

[Kelli]

The Adjustment
Page 174
(view spoiler)[ well - I was wrong in thinking that Jana was the one who supplied memories to Vanessa. Oops 🤷🏻‍♀️ still when Nathan brought up that she was acting weird maybe it’s because she wants someone else to go through the Adjustment and kind of see how things go for them vs how things are going/have gone for Vanessa.
My heart was seriously so happy when Wes text Tatum wanting to see her. Probably wasn’t the best idea for them to hook up tho. The one memory is a good start though - at least he knows she isn’t just ‘messing with him’ about their relationship. I couldn’t imagine feeling a strong connection with someone yet feeling so distant and not know them. Emotions are a crazy thing

Oh!! And I was super pumped to see Dr McKee make and appearance. And the talk about the truth serum stuff - definitely Marie!! (hide spoiler)]

[Kelli]

The Adjustment
Page 275
(view spoiler)[ Tatums headaches and the nosebleed got me pretty worried. I suppose anything that has to do with brain and/or memory manipulation would leave your brain a little sore, but now her grandma coming in with these migraine pills that knock her out leaving her feeling kind of disoriented? I can’t help but think of the time when Quinn was on assignment and they gave her those pills that knocked her on her butt as well. Sometimes I get paranoid and think everyone is out to get everybody in some books 😂😂😂. (hide spoiler)]

The Adjustment

(view spoiler)[
I knew something was up with those pills! And now this conversation with Kyle - I don’t know if I can even explain the whirlwind of emotions I’m feeling right now. Anyone else ever get to the point in a book where you just want to read faster and devour everything at an alarming rate? Yep. This is it!
So sounds like the grandparents got these pills to make Tatum forget about the breakup in what I would assume was an attempt to keep her from spiraling and out of the program. So any time after that her memories were corrupted and are now influencing Wes as such. I’m. A. Mess! lol (hide spoiler)]

[Kelli]

The Adjustment
Finished
(view spoiler)[. Ok. It’s official. I totally suck at trying to predict this series 😂 I am so full of emotion at the end of this book - the minute Nathan mentions Tate’s time in the program...I mean what?! I mean it definitely makes sense since we’ve come to find that her memories have been tampered with. What still baffles me though is how things are constantly kept from people from EVERYONE! I mean there isn’t even one person who lets things leak even the smallest amount, like their break up or Tate in the program for example. I get it - all touchy subjects. All things you would think a person would remember so why would you bring it up? Definitely just adds to the whole everyone is just walking on eggshells and some sort of paranoid thing though.
The epilogue threw me so much! Having Realm, Jana, Marie and Tom all together. This is so much bigger than when it started - which seems to be a trend (that I LOVE!) in the whole program series.
Super excited to dive into The Complication

[Kelli]

The Complication
Page 137
(view spoiler)[ it kind of surprised me that Wes was drawn to Tate so quickly - I thought there may be a little more hesitation. But of course me being the sap that I am, I absolutely love it! Just this show true love heart memory stuff makes me heart grow 10 sizes or something 🥰
Tate’s memory recovery has been less than pleasant that’s for sure. She needs to know herself, but damn! That’s some hard stuff to process right there. I wonder if she’ll ever talk with Wes’s mom about things now that she knows how horribly that night went and that she really was at a point of needing help.
Random, but when she found that box and mentioned something about a birthday and the wrong date the first thing that came to mind was closers....?

Same 😂 It’s adorable!

(view spoiler)[ and then dr Tom McKee closes his eyes and dies quietly in the back room of the adjustment office


Well hell. That’s dark! haha this has been a whirlwind of a book though. Hearing the mention of Nicole - I would think this will more than likely get back to her somehow. Even if Marie isn’t the one to reach out.

Tate is definitely uncovering more and I say it’s a good thing Nathan came with and discovered Jana/Melody there. Wonder if she did actually fall in love with him? Her getting mad over him not sharing every aspect of his life with her and not including her enough with his friends just screams that she wanted more information on Tate tho.

AHH! (view spoiler)[Michael Realm is making an appearance!
Also, so I’m assuming she is losing her memories. When they originally called Tate a “donor” my first thought was that she will probably lose her memories that she “implants” to Wes.
Or she’s gone through the Program herself or something of that nature, but doesn’t know it.
Or what if Nathan is Tate’s handler. 🤔 (hide spoiler)]

[Kelli]

The Complication
Page 242
(view spoiler)[ I knew Nicole would find out somehow. I don’t know that I was expecting Melody to call, but figured it would happen. There is so much lying and deceit going on. I wonder if Nicole will find a way to help Tate - seems like they were both taken as children and put into Arthur Pritchard’s hands. Tom and Marie sure had A LOT going on!

[Kelli]

The Complication
Finished
Omg....seriously where do I even start? (view spoiler)[ I feel like I’ve ended every book in this series wondering how so much could happen in just 400/450ish pages. Like I honestly feel like I have just finished reading an entire life story of several people in only a handful of hours.

I was seriously worried that Realm was going to die. There was a part of me that was scared the series would just end in an ‘everybody dies’ scenario 😂 lol Happy that wasn’t the case. I thought it was awesome how the main characters made their appearance in this last book to tie everything together. I also have to say how happy I am about Sloane and James being married. I’m such a sappy fan girl I swear 🙄

One thing that I remember thinking so many things throughout this book in particular is the honesty of Tate. Just how she can recollect so many details and tell these stories to those who are important to her and how she doesn’t hide things (well - most things). I don’t think you find honesty like that most places....let alone in this series. I absolutely adore that about her.

While I am happy there’s the closure and I did read all of them - as always a small part of me is sad that it’s over 🤓
