Book Description:
How do you go back to a life you can’t remember? Find out in this follow up to the New York Times bestselling The Program and The Treatment.
Tatum Masterson never went through The Program. She never had her memory stripped, never had to fight to remain herself. But when Weston, her longtime boyfriend and love of her life, was taken by handlers, she hoped he’d remember her somehow—that their love would be strong enough.
It wasn’t.
Like all returners, Weston came back a blank canvas. The years he and Tatum spent together were forgotten, as well as the week when he mysteriously disappeared before The Program came for him.
Regardless of his memory loss, Tatum fights to get Weston to remember her. And just as they start to build a new love, they hear about the Adjustment—a new therapy that implants memories from a donor. Despite the risks, Tatum and Weston agree to go through the process. Tatum donates her memories from their time together.
But the problem with memories is that they are all a matter of perspective. So although Weston can now remember dating Tatum, his emotions don’t match the experiences. And this discrepancy is slowly starting to unravel him, worse than anything The Program could have done.
And as the truth of their life together becomes clear, Tatum will have to decide if she loves Weston enough to let him go, or to continue to live the lie they’d build together.
Prepare for your Adjustment.
The Program is one of those rare series, that not only gets better as it goes, but one that will capture your interest from the very first page.
It is unique, horrifying, and completely believable in almost all aspects of design. It is one that can be felt and imagined and that is what makes it so darn good and so addicting.
It is a series that captured my love for it after the first book and one that has only grown as the series has progressed and evolved. It truly is one of a kind and this latest installment might very well be my favorite yet.
For fans of the series, we know that the stakes have never been higher and the danger more real. Even though so much has happened and so much has changed for the better, there is still so much more bad out there. There are still conspiracies and dangers lurking around every corner and The Adjustment just proves that just when you think it is safe to go back into the waters, a shark jumps out and grabs you.
This was an action packed adventure that pulled at the heart strings and left me reeling and wanting more. It amazes me how far Young has come with this series and with the ending the way it was, how much is still left to reveal and tell.
I can't not wait for more. This series continues to stun and leave me breathless and most of all, leaves me craving more.

Wonderful review Ali. I love that it keeps getting better. Of course I have book one in my tbr pile and you have reminded me why!
ReplyDeleteIt really is a good one and I really hope you end up loving it as well Kim. :D
DeleteI'm genuinely surprised this series is still going on. I feel like I missed the boat on this one. I may check it out at some point in the future. I did get the first book after all.
ReplyDeleteIt is and it is still going strong too. There were a couple of pre Program books that were released and they were just as good as this series, I recommend them all!
DeleteThis looks really good Kindlemom. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Debbie! :D
DeleteI still need to start this series. The fact that you are still loving it 3 books in and it seems to get more intense has got me itching to get my hands on The Program
ReplyDeleteTechnically there are five books out but two are prequels but I've loved them all so far!
DeleteWow, now that's different. I've not read anything like this before. Sounds really good.
ReplyDeleteIt was definitely fun and made a nice change of pace.
DeleteI didn't see the last two twists coming at the end of this book. It was a fast read and I liked seeing the cameos of characters from the earlier books.
ReplyDeleteYes oh my yes. Those twists, I don't even know what to think about them! And yeah, the other characters were a fun addition. I can't wait for more!
DeleteI have the first book in this series and really need to get to it. Glad it is still so strong. Great review!
ReplyDeleteI hope when you get to it, you love it.
DeleteSo odd that it's books like this that actually scares me because like you said, it's so believable. We may be behind in terms of technology but in all other aspects we're almost there. Dystopia seems to be more realistic than fantasy
ReplyDeleteYes, I think that is why I love them though, the terrifying what if factor they all seem to have to them.
DeleteI never got on the bandwagon for this series. But I did read The Program many moons ago. Unfortunately, it's just one of those things that wasn't for me.
ReplyDeleteSorry it wasn't for you but I understand, it is a bit of a darker read.
DeleteThat is sadly very true but this series really is holding strong.
ReplyDeletePretty dang exciting when they just keep getting better like that :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. ;)
DeleteDamn, I need to start this series. I was curious when the 1st book released, but hadn't felt that strong pull to read it yet. But it does now that I see how much you're still loving the series.
ReplyDeleteYou should, it's a darker series so I think you would like it. No rainbows and sunshine here.
DeleteI really need to try this author I keep hearing about her! one day!
ReplyDeleteI really hope you do, she is fantastic.
DeleteI'm in awe at how good this series is too! This one wasn't my favorite by any means, but I thoroughly enjoyed the book especially with that twist! I can't wait to read the next one! :)
ReplyDeleteYes I need more after that twist! It reminded me of the twist in the last one released as part of the spin off pre series. It was a killer too.
DeleteI need to read this series but keep forgetting to start. Indeed it is a unique take.
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to have those for sure.
DeleteAwesome review. I know that dystopia genre has suffered a decline lately, but it still remains my favourite. Call me a masochist, but I like to read about possible future scenarios. The premise of this book sound great, will add it to my TBR list.

I still really love the genre for all those reasons as well but sadly I haven't been reading as much of it as I use to. I really need to get back into it.
DeleteOh this series has been on my wishlist for a while now. You have renewed my interest.
ReplyDeleteWoot!
DeleteGreat review, Ali. This series is so intriguing.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Tyler!
DeleteI haven't read these, but they sound great. I'm glad to hear you really enjoyed this one.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
Deletehonestly it's really awesome to hear that you have enjoyed this series so much. Always good when the series get's better as it goes instead of the other way around
ReplyDeleteI agree!
DeleteUnique, horrifying, action packed adventure and I don't remember hearing about this series? Wow! Glad you are really enjoying it!
ReplyDeleteThanks and it's been around for while but it is YA so that might be why maybe? It does read older than most YA though which is really nice.
DeleteThis is dystopian? Oh wow, I never would have guess with its cover. But dang! This sounds like a pretty exciting and adventurous read. I'll definitely check out this series. Great review!
ReplyDeleteYes and it is wonderful so definitely look it up. ;)
DeleteYay! Glad this series is still going strong! I really the first book and really enjoyed it but still haven't gotten back to reading the rest /shame. Need to fix that ASAP! Awesome review!
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked the first one!
DeleteI love it that this series just keeps getting better. There's just something so intense about a read like this that makes you feel it's all possible. Happy Friday, Ali!
ReplyDeleteYes, so true Kim!
DeleteI have been meaning to try this series for years!
ReplyDeleteIt really is a good one to try!
DeleteI've been on the fence about starting this series but the more I read all these amazing review, the more I'm leaning towards needing to read it!
ReplyDeleteSimply Angela
Definitely read this one, it is so worth it!
DeleteI've actually had The Program on my TBR for what feels like forever, and I have no idea why I never read it. Great review! I just may need to check these out now! :)
ReplyDeleteOh I really hope you do read it and love it!
DeleteI have heard of this author, but I don't think I've ever stopped to read a blurb. I do love the premise of this series and added the first to my to be read list.
ReplyDeleteGreat review!
Thank you and happy to hear you added the first book, I really hope you end up liking it as much as I did!
