(view spoiler)[ That first scene really threw us right in and really gave us a raw glimpse of this program! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Right! There was no waiting around for the plot. But somehow it still made sense. I didn't feel like I was just dumped into the story. (hide spoiler)]

Up to part 2 (view spoiler)[ It was really hard watching Sloan have to go through James and keep up appearances for so long. It was no wonder she just felt like giving up. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I think they had good intentions but really went about it the wrong way. Maybe if people were free to share and deal with their emotions properly with good support systems in place, the cases would drop more. The program might work better if it didn’t carry the fear of having your memories erased. (hide spoiler)]

End of part 1
(view spoiler)[ I can’t imagine how emotional this is gonna get later if it’s already like this now. I’m gripped. I need to know what actually happens in the program now. I’m glad this is so fast paced. (hide spoiler)]

Part 2 chapter 10-
(view spoiler)[ That seemed like Realm was desperate to get his hands on a purple pill. He seems a bit manipulative. He hasn’t really shared anything about himself yet. He must have some kind of deal going on with the staff for them to let him get away with this much. (hide spoiler)]

This was the book I needed to get back into reading after a bit of a slump the last couple of months. Im glad there are a few of these books.

[Aaron]

End of part 2
(view spoiler)[ Nailed it about Realm. He just didn’t seem genuine. I’m glad they only really removed Sloane’s memories about James and her friends. It’s heartbreaking that she isn’t really herself anymore but there is more of her left than I expected. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ It looks like everyone was an agent but that makes no sense. That means they’re only treating one person at a time. Is this some kind of odd experiment. And does Realm pretend to be in love with all of them? (hide spoiler)]

[Aaron]

Done
(view spoiler)[ I really enjoyed most of that book but the ending was a bit of a let down for me. The entire tone of the book shifted really suddenly. It felt more like I was reading the darkest minds books at the end for some reason. I’m excited to see where this all goes though. (hide spoiler)]
