Waiting On Wednesday (52)

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

Title: The Program
Author: Suzanne Young
Expected Publication Date: April 30, 2013

Synopsis:

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.


This sounds freakin' AWESOME! I love this idea, that suicide is an epidemic. It's pretty original, or at least I haven't come across anything like it. I'm anxious to see how this is going to work and I wish we didn't have to wait until next April. But alas, we must. I guess that just gives me more time to make a bigger dent in my TBR pile, which will also work in my favor when the husband sees that I am in fact reading the books I own already and will not give me crap about buying more. He actually had the nerve to tell me to start boxing up the books I've read and storing them in the attic when I asked him what I should do about space limitations on my shelves. How DARE he! Perhaps I should put him in the attic and start piling new books on his side of the bed :) Seriously though, I would never lock up my babies! Err, I think I might have a problem...
Anyway, what are you waiting on this week? Leave me a link in the comments and I'll come check it out!
