"The girl I used to be is dead—The Program killed her."
~
Trigger warnings for The Treatment include: abuse, alcoholism, domestic violence, rape, depression, sexual assault, self-harm and suicide as a main theme.
☆
This book is the second in The Program series, and it follows the same themes and general ideas. It continues on from where The Program left off, still following Sloane and her boyfriend James, as well as Realm, but also a few new characters who play significant roles in the story too.
~
Altogether, I struggled to get through this one, and I was hoping to continue reading the series as there are several more books than this, however I really had a hard time wanting to read it. And  I feel as though this one relied on the action scenes too much rather than developing the plot and characters properly. Alongside a take on the amnesia trope, I just didn't really enjoy this second book, it just felt a bit too propped up.
