    About this audiobook

    Can one girl help others find closure by slipping into the identities of their loved ones? Find out in this riveting sequel to The Remedy and companion to the New York Times bestselling The Program and The Treatment.

    In a world before The Program…

    Quinlan McKee’s job as a closer taught her to read people and situations, even losing a bit of herself to do so. But she couldn’t have guessed how her last case would bring down her entire world. Now, the only person Quinn has left is Deacon, her best friend and the love of her life. Except Deacon’s been keeping secrets of his own, so Quinn sets out alone to find Arthur Pritchard, the doctor who’s been trying to control her life.

    When Quinn finds Arthur’s daughter, Virginia, she learns the truth about his motives. The good doctor believes Quinn is the first step to curing the growing epidemic of teen suicides. But how can Quinn trust someone who plays God with other people’s memories? As Quinn struggles to hold onto her sense of self through world-upending revelations, she must separate truth from lies to make the best decision for everyone’s future.

      Enchanted, I have become with Suzanne Young’s writing-style. Her novels encourage me to soar without a net on my projects. The Program was the third Young audiobook that I have listened.
    • 4/5
      This one kept me decently interested and there were some fun twists and turns, but overall I'm a little disappointed in this series. I hate the romance still :( I haven't liked any of the couples or been rooting for them, and I wish it wasn't the focus or that it was done better, because I definitely can appreciate a romance normally.
    • 4/5
      The Epidemic is the follow-up novel to The Remedy, it continues the story of Quinn who is now on the run from the people she worked for. She is driven by her desire to discover her true identity and uncover the reasons behind the spread of the suicide epidemic. Only one man holds the answer to her question - Arthur Pritchard. Those who've read The Program and The Treatment will remember who Pritchard is, it was interesting to learn his backstory and his motivations behind his actions.Quinn learns some troubling information about the people closest to her, including Deacon, thus pushing her to set out on her own. She finally meets Virginia, Arthur Pritchard's daughter, and attempts to befriend her in hopes of getting valuable information. Will Quinn succeed in stopping the epidemic and will she finally uncover who she really is? Will Quinn and Deacon have a future together?As much as I like this series, I think this book is weak compared to the other books. It started out strong, but by the middle it felt like the story was just going round and round without a definite direction. Towards the end though it gained a bit of momentum, I liked the twist in the end as it was unexpected. Also, I suggest you read this series when you're feeling upbeat as the subject matter is quite dark and depressing. I didn't mind it for the most part, as mentioned I enjoyed this series. However, I read The Epidemic while I was recovering from a knee injury, hence I was in bed for several days and reading this book made me feel down. I wasn't satisfied about the explanation on how the epidemic started, I'm hoping there will be a more gratifying explanation in the next book. Yes, there is another book - The Adjustment which just came out this month.I give The Epidemic 4 out of 5 stars.
    • 4/5
      This is the sequel to "The Remedy" and it answers questions and explains the suicide epidemic found in "The Program." I didn't think things would turn out well- they looked bad, bad, and worse, but they actually work out in a really good way. I also had a few suspicions from the first book confirmed. It was interesting watching them try to stop the epidemic that is already a given in "The Program," too.
